    cvs co -r PHP_4_3 php-src

for instance. Is there any technical problem, that I don't see, with the way we handled this before (havin php4 and php5 aliased that select the correct {Zend|ZendEngine2} CVS module)?

I second that. There's no reason not to keep the php5 alias, and no reason not to tell people that the way to checkout php4 is cvs -r PHP_$ php4. The Win32 diff may work, but it certainly is ugly. Zeev
