And can you explain why you can't solve this with exceptions in 2 minutes?

And please, stop the 'dictator!' accusations. If whatever came out of my mouth was immediately implemented in PHP, we'd have libxml2 bundled and SOAP support built-in (just two examples, there are plenty more, and that's just fine).

You wanted SOAP promoted from PECL to the main distro which has happened.

Right, I don't remember there was any opposition to that either, but there was certainly some for enabling it by default, which I think makes perfect sense. Hence, one example where my dictatorial skills failed me ;)

Libxml2 is built-in on Windows along with the lastest PHP XML extensions.

Oh come on, you of all people should know that Windows is a different beast, and libxml2 is not the only example. Since I truly don't want ot revive this discussion, suffice to say that where we are now is not at all where I think we should be as far as libxml bundling, and it's not because of lack of volunteers. Just watch the list heat up 10x more if I say something to the effect that I'm willing to do it or put somebody on the job of doing it - we'll miss the nice-going GOTO discussion. Relax people, I said IF, I didn't actually say it! ;) Zeev
