Note that I just installed 1.17 on CentOS *5.6*, and the shipping PHP there
is still 5.1.x; I had to set up epel to pull in something as new as 5.3.6
to get it to run at all.

I admit I was surprised that something as new as C5.6 didn't have a new enough
PHP for our current production release, but there you have it.
