Description
There are some pre-built files shipped in this repository:
- Last 4 WordPress versions
- WebAssembly PHP
- Pre-built PHP dependencies (like libpng)
Building them from scratch requires additional setup and takes a long time, which is a bad experience for a new contributor who just wants to clone the project and publish their first PR.
At the same time, shipping these files is a burden – they change, pollute the commit logs, and won't play very well with a support for multiple PHP and WordPress version.
It would be nice to have a separate package (or maybe even a repository?) for these pre-built binaries, and source them from there on the initial build.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the repository currently ships the last four WordPress versions, WebAssembly PHP, and pre-built PHP dependencies. Evaluate whether a separate package or repository can provide these binaries during the initial build. Done means the repository no longer ships the pre-built files and a documented build path sources them successfully.
