Installation Of SUPHP From Source

suPHP is a tool for executing PHP scripts with the permissions of their owners. It consists of an Apache module (mod_suphp) and a setuid root binary (suphp) that is called by the Apache module to change the uid of the process executing the PHP interpreter. This release fixes a bug causing problems with symbol links in the script path, which was introduced with the 0.7.0 release.
