How do I compile PHP with support for T1Lib?

Why isn't T1Lib automatically installed with PHP if it is detected on the system?

T1Lib is not automatically installed if detected, you need to set the
flag in ./configure:

    --enable-t1lib

There is a document in your distribution dir called "README.t1lib".
I strongly urge you to read it. It concerns t1lib versions and required
patches.

There is a *very good* reason for not enabling it by default, but asking
you enable it by writing '--enable-t1lib'. If you are using version 0.9
of t1lib, you *are going to get a serious warning*, and please *fix it*,
compile t1lib after fixing it, or you will have serious problems. Like
your httpd processes just growing and growing in size, until they just
use all the memory and swap you have got on your machine and finally,
depending on your os, either crashing, panickin or just making the
system not responding to anything.
