A while ago someone just said that they could not see any more Zend API
changes coming. I said that moving extensions to PEAR could not happen
until Zend's API either stabilizes, or at least tries to be backwards
compatible.
Obviously this won't be the case for a while yet. How do you propose
fixing this? Have people define a macro in their code stating which
version of the API they are using? As of now there are probably a few
extensions out there that will _only_ build with PHP 4.0.4 to 4.0.6 or
something like that, before which they _only_ built with 4.0.3, and now
they will be updated to require 4.0.7.
