But these will be the users mainly interested in prewritten scripts, and
they will rely on the extension already used by the programmer, i know that
if i were to install some language that supposidly configures itself and a
program like phpMyAdmin which uses .php3 just didn't work i would be
somewhat discouraged from using the language (from a new user standpoint)
perhaps the solution is to add support for .php3 until most programs switch
over, but not document it, ie: exclude it from the installer but support it
anyway, for the time being.
