Some of the PECL extensions compiled without really complaining with the new experimental branch (on Windows). Anatol's own xmldiff, php_blenc.dll (but it did not work), php_uploadprogress.dll and php_timezonedb.dll. The BC break should probably be even greater, so that cases like the blenc extension do not occur. I have converted one of my own extensions (that is not even on PECL): php_ffmpeg.dll. I did not do that (yet) with ifndef's, but just with global searching and replacing. So I have two sources for the same extension right now. Jan
