Sure:-)

Yes, but adding information about how to configure PHP for this
extensions does not make sense IMHO. Once they are in PECL there are
two possibilities:
1.) popular extension -> bundled with PHP and adding infos about
configure options make sense.
2.) not so popular or whatever else -> not bundled with PHP.
compile/configure Options are different, so it makes no sense to
me to add/move this info to the docs.

Thanks I got it:-)
Removed in 4.3
ext/aspell
ext/ccvs
ext/cybercash
ext/icap
sapi/fhttpd
ICAP docs are deleted (at least excluded from the build process)
For aspell I suggest the same solution as for ICAP:
1.) exlude them from the build process
2.) make sure php.net/aspell points to php.net/pspell
3.) put a note in pspell like that in php.net/mcal
For CCVS the same as above with a pointer to MCVE
As far as i know there is no replacement for Cybercash.
I suggest to
1.) exclude the functions from the build process
2.) modify reference.xml containing a short note about the removal
About the moved extensions:
moved to PECL in 4.3
ext/vpopmail
ext/cybermut
moved to PECL in 4.2.0
ext/satellite
ext/mailparse
As long as the docs not moved we should at least provide the users
some information about:
1.) the move
2.) where to get the code for the extensions
Ok, satellite docs are moved.

Friedhelm
P.S.:
Maybe we can find a general solution how to handle removed and moved
extensions. You made a suggestion later in the thread, it should be in
the TODO.
