Well I went to that URL and downloaded 
http://apache.dev.wapme.net/support/cygwin-packages/apache-modules/mod_php4/apache-php-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2, 
bunzip2 and untarred it and ran the postinstall (after first commenting 
out the last line which is an rm which assumes that the preceeding line, 
the rebase, doesn't fail):

$ /etc/postinstall/apache-php.sh
[activating module `php4' in /etc/apache/httpd.conf]
cp libphp4.dll /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.dll
chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.dll
cp /etc/apache/httpd.conf /etc/apache/httpd.conf.bak
cp /etc/apache/httpd.conf.new /etc/apache/httpd.conf
rm /etc/apache/httpd.conf.new
usage: rebase -b BaseAddress [-Vdv] [-o Offset] [-T FileList | -] Files...

After this I cannot start Apache. Running a syntax check:

$ httpd -t
Syntax error on line 238 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.dll into server: dlopen: Win32 error 126
