What is the difference to the packages from sapdb.org?

By the way: Does SuSE also have PHP-Packages with sapdb support
enabled? Why don't you anyway enable the support in gerenal?
It is *very* tedious compiling the PHP thing with all that external
libraries, even using the SuSE src.rpm. On every new SuSE release
since I hade to recompile PHP.

It would be ***veeeeeeeeery*** nice to have a precompiled PHP
package from SuSE with support for sapdb :-)))
