WordPress PHP Extension: Week 9 Status Report

[Jacob Santos]

Work on the Build Environment has been completed. I needed to compile
Apache and PHP with Visual Studio 2008 in order for them to be
compatible (without using CGI, which I've been unable to get working).
The WordPress PHP Extension shell compiles perfectly and shows up in
the phpinfo() function.

I've been working on translating the Plugin API and will continue
working on that. What I'm working on now and trying to test is the
$wp_plugins and $merge_filters globals. It would be faster if I did it
all internal and not have the two be accessed in userland, however
there might be other functions in WordPress that access the globals,
so to be safe it is going to be allowed to be accessed in userland.

Apache keeps crashing, so I can't really test whether it works, but
I'll update when I get it working. I'm recompiling Apache just in
case, so I'll be able to make sure I compiled it using the right
compiler. I have both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008.
