Hmm... I'd call this simply paranoia. All previous PHP
releases have been register_globals On anyway.

And besides, it is stupid to not reset new variables
before usage anyway, and that is as far as I know the
only security risk in register_globals.

I think Rasmus Lerdorf (or some other original PHP core
dev) said in an interview that the decision with 
register_globals in new PHP versions was overreacting.

Yes, but there is quite a bunch of code where this needs
to be done.

Let me know if you succeed, though. I would be happy to
receive patch for this to Aegir CMS ;-)
