We do something akin to the latter in the python bindings, for exactly
what reason. You should be able to use something like #pragma(php4)
code="..." to inject PHP code into the final wrapper. If you put it in
(I think) extra.i inside the php directory, it should do the right
thing. The question then is whether you can augment things
appropriately in PHP5.

(Note that it's #pragma(php4) even for PHP5, according to
<http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Php.html#Php_nn2_7>.)
