[support] Database Drivers unreachable (dependecy hell)

  Aha!

  OK. This is what I have :
  ######################################
  linus:rocky tim$ php -i | grep Loaded
  Loaded Configuration File => (none)
  libXML Loaded Version => 20900
  linus:rocky tim$ php54 -i | grep PDO
  PDO
  PDO support => enabled
  PDO drivers => mysql, sqlite
  PDO Driver for MySQL => enabled
  PDO Driver for SQLite 3.x => enabled
  ######################################
  So... php (cli) is not finding a php.ini. 

  Where should it go?
  ------------------
  BTW: php -i opens up a whole lot of analysis - thanks for that
  edification.
