Let me state it again for clarity: It is possible to mix CRTs, when done very very carefully. Firebird does it for example and the firebird clients work with any crt versions. However, we do not support that for any libraries we provide or bundle and for any pecl extension we build and provide. There are way too many possible issues and we wasted plenty of times trying to fixing these issues. It is easier, safer and cleaner to provide all binaries linked against the same CRT. Now, if you like to do it with various CRTs, go ahead, no issue here :) But we do not support external binaries, be from Zend or any other 3rd party.
