The fastcgi dev. kit is needed to build php with fastcgi support. It took me a
few goes to work this out (I didn't just sit down and build this first time with
no errors!)

It just puts files in different places; I don't know the exact details, and I
suspect it's not all that important for this exercise. When building a package
for cygwin I presume the developers have standards that should be applied to the
locations of files in every package?

I don't thing it is needed for this; just for php. But, I had already installed
it (fastcgi dev package) when I built spawn-fcgi so I don't know for sure.

The bang path is set to #!/bin/bash. I don't think that's the problem. I've
reported this on the lighttpd list.
So, what now? I saw that Reini is going to have another look at the PHP package
in the light of some progress in another area. Meanwhile, I've got php working
(subject to further testing!) so I'll leave it at that I think. I'll try and
write this up and post a link when I'm done.
Cheers,
R.
