Nope it doesn't, but they intend to.  It doesn't support COM/DCOM on anything
but win32 either, bummer.  But I read a few things that give steps for making
"any" C library a PHP module you can load with "dl", which reminded me that I
couldn't find the source RPM's for you PHP4 stuff.  Which, by the way, works
great.  The easiest PHP install I've ever done, except I was a little suprised
that it needed the Kerberos libraries.
