'k, how do you envision this?  I can do a very simple "export" into the 
same directory and tar it all up, but if you are thinking of something 
like recreating the existing directory structure, with plphp being in 
src/pl/plphp, and that sort of thing, that could be a bit more tricky ... 
not from a CVS/packaging perspective, since I've done that before, but 
running ./configure at the top level directory won't pick up them up and 
configure them, since they are all configured using their own ...

I've seen some projects where configure *calls* configure in sub 
directories ... but that becomes a build issue if someone wants to try and 
tackle that?

if directory src/pl/php exists, run configure in there with current args?
