Nothing about the PHP bindings using Visual C++ is ideal :-(

Using the packaged bindings, we get a lot of errors of the form:

error C2660: 'zend_register_internal_class_ex' : function does not take 
3 arguments

when building for PHP4. Adding the -noproxy flag to the Swig call seems 
to fix the problem.

I've been rebuilding using Swig 1.3.31 and everything does seem to work, 
but let me know if this is unwise!
