global include directory

We run PHP 3.0.6 in safe mode, which precludes us (apparently) from including certain files. As per lines 115-119 of safe_mode.c, it checks the uid of the current script against the uid of the script to be included. This feature does not allow a sort of global include directory when run under safe mode, since many scripts owned by different UIDs will want to include certain other scripts. Would it be viable/desirable to add a directive that would specify a directory in which this check is omitted? For instance, global_include_dir = "/usr/local/web/phplibs" means that any script in /usr/local/web/phplibs (when included) would skip the UID check. Is this capability already in PHP? (I realize we are a couple of minor revisions behind.) If not, does this violate the programming paradigm of PHP3?
