another. The only change in PHP 5 is that we are no longer bundling

- 2. Given the above, having multiple versions of the library can get

- with the installed server version. The most obvious symptom of this
- being disagreement over where to find the mysql.socket unix domain
- socket file.

- have an upgrade path since we cannot bundle a GPL'ed library in a
- BSD/Apache-style licensed project. A clean break in PHP 5 seemed like

This won't actually affect that many people. UNIX users, at least the
