Re: Question regarding packaging for PHP7

Some people are making "compatibility headers" consisting of a big number of macros. It's inconvenient for extensions widely using Zend API. It's not very beautiful solution as well. I got an idea: config.m4 can take care by means of a couple of directories: php7 and pre-php7. But the package size will be nearly doubled. What do you think about it? Perhaps, somebody has invented an elegant solution already?
