php4, php52, php5, php5-devel: Compile errors in pecl packages about missing pcre.h

Description
When building pecl extensions using php5 5.3.0 there is a problem with missing pcre.h. One example is the apc extension.
It seems as this is a result of using the external pcre lib when building php5. But /opt/local/include is not appended to the includes when configuring the package. There is a PECL Bug that covers this bug.
I manually added "-I/opt/local/include" in /opt/local/bin/php-config to the includes variable and after that apc compiled without any problems.
I am not quite sure whether this is a bug in PHP or with macports. My knowledge about building php and messing with php-config is near to zero. ;)

It probably makes sense for php-config --includes to list -I${prefix}/includes in addition to the paths it already lists.

Fixed in php5 in r58589. Still need to fix php5-devel and investigate whether php52 and php4 are affected.

I have not had any trouble compiling the php5-apc port. Are you using that, or attempting to compile APC manually outside of MacPorts?
