Yes, thats indeed true. I understand the mess with GD 2.0.1 having a lot
of bugs and everything, but if you are supporting GD2 based functions on
4.0.6 and then take it away on the Windows version of 4.1.0, people are
definetely have problems.

I'm one of those unlucky bastards that have to mantain an open-source
project that needs the GD extension to generate images, so I personally
hate when things like this happen. Too much of my time was already wasted
trying to work around problems and inconsistencies between versions of PHP
and its GD extension, and what I got as a reply was basically "tough
luck".

Very annoying indeed. I guess I will have to waste several more hours
trying to build a portable solution across versions one more time, but
this time with the new variable in place - PHP 4.1 on Windows being
different than PHP 4.0.6 on Windows, which was already different than PHP
4.0.5 on Windows.
