Description
Sample extension: https://github.com/mote0230/dbase-pecl-php7
Target environment: PHP 7.0, of course!
What's the appropriate way to get this to work? prior to using this module ... I would have either defined a selection of execs with some testing ... or pre-compile and just define the file types as appropriate.
How would one install a custom extension that's not on PECL or other providers (like apt or a PPA) using this module?

Done means documenting clear installation steps for extensions unavailable through PECL, apt, or a PPA.
