But please keep in mind that PHP5 will be released at the end of this
year and then still we'll have 4.x-systems out there. Lucky that we
don't need to support 3.x-systems any more - but you will see v4-
systems for quite a while still after php5-release, believe me. And
we can't break PEAR to only run on v5-systems.
