I don't have anything that uses socket-based php commands, so
SYSTEM_ROOT doesn't appear to be a problem for me.

I don't like setting variables like that, but I suppose it might be
another option.

Personally I think the problem is small - I was able to work around it
by adding a single line to the xitami source, but that doesn't
necessarily mean that I'm doing everything right.  Maybe if there's
anyone out there using Xitami on Linux from source that would be
helpful -- that would certainly help to pinpoint any OS-related issues
-- so far the only responses have been from people running Xitami under
Windows and they seem to have no problems.
