Yeah, my main concern is actually not with the one above, except for 2) perhaps. The brilliant thing to have everything in core, is that it gets checked out, updated, etc like all other standard parts. Becaus of this compile errors and other related issues are *quickly* discovered - this is especially important when it comes to OS-differences. regards, Derick -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
