Default Are php extensions subpackages?

Hello,

I have been trying to install PHP from ports but end up quite confused.

I installed php5-core but I think it built the -fastcgi subpackage/flavor for some reason? This is the command I used:

cd /usr/ports/www/php5/core
env SUBPACKAGE="-main" make install

Anyway that only installed php5-core so I guess I go on.

Now I am trying to install some extensions,

cd /usr/ports/www/php5/extensions
env SUBPACKAGE="-gd" make install

But it seems to be compiling not just gd but ALL extensions?? What's going on here?? Does anyone know how to build extensions one by one? This is taking ages and I rather not have to wait this long every time.

And no I won't be able to use precompiled packages.
