Compile PHP w two new modules

I'm trying to run Amazon Cloudfront CDN for my website (via W3 Total Cache). I'm hosted on Dreamhost with PHP 5.3.5 and FastCGI, I'd like to add the following modules to my PHP: EXTENSION 1 - HTML Tidy extension: Not installed (required for HTML Tidy minifier suppport) I think this requires compiling a new version of PHP? [login to view URL] Unsupported install instructions from Dreamhost [login to view URL] EXTENSION 2 - Mime type detection: Not installed (required for CDN support) [login to view URL] ## Deliverables Preference for experience with: * Dreamhost * Wordpress * W3 Total Cache Plugin for Wordpress * Amazon CloudFront CDN
