Re: zend module patch

I'm in favour of having this in 4.0.7, and releasing 4.0.7. The main reasoning being that we already break lots of APIs with 4.0.7, we might as well move this in now as well. The fact we haven't done anything about this for almost two years doesn't mean we should prevent someone that really wants to finally address this issue (Stig) from doing this. Having two structures is a possibility, but it's also a fairly big headache, so unless you volunteer - Stig's patch should be incorporated to the CVS, IMHO.

    Are you suggesting not to release 4.0.7?

    If so, then I'm -1 on that.  There is no reason to rush this
    change now.  The debate about implementing more sensible
    error messages etc. for dynamic extensions dates back to the
    meeting in Tel Aviv 1.5 years ago; I cannot say that PHP
    desperately lacked this feature and that the lack has
    hindered PHP's success in the meantime.

    Instead I would suggest to consider adding some backwards
    compatibility on the source-level.  This can be easily
    achieved by supporting two module structures for now and
    displaying a warning when an old version is recognized.
