OK - the reason it looks strange is because it does not work ;)
I've modified it on the copy here so that --with-interbase=xxx:shared
actually finds the include and lib directories in my Firebird install
... then configure reports that ext\interbase [shared] is enabled ...

But as yet I've not been able to make it :( It says 'ext\interbase' up
to date but I can't see anything created for it. I don't know if it's
failing for the same reason that the configure was failing - with
missing parts to the path - but even copying the files to the
...\php5\ext\interbase\include and \lib_ms directories does not help :(

Any ideas anybody?

On a plus side I had a very successful morning after a nice email from
apachelounge. I've got an x64 server almost fully configured on the
Vista box. Firebird, Apache and PHP5.2.8 - all that is missing is a
matching php_interbase.dll - which is what I'd like to build after I get
a 5.3 extension built ....
