Both 5.* and 7.* are current tracks at PHP, so it's not
surprising that a package is built with 5.6. What surprised me,
apart from pkg's apparent willingness to ignore an existing
install of 7.0, was that there are no pkgs built against 7.0,
even though 7.0 provides a jump in performance that's so large
it's visible to the naked eye.
