Exciting! Lots of cool new things in 5.4.

Array and constructor dereferencing++
Safe mode and register globals are gone \o/
Built in webserver for testing <- MediaWiki runs on this!
dtrace support

One gotcha if we haven't fixed it already:
* putenv( "TZ..." ) no longer works (fine in core, maybe extensions
need fixing?)

I'm also curious about:
"Changed $GLOBALS into a JIT autoglobal, so it's initialized only if used.
(this may affect opcode caches!)"

I know we don't use $GLOBALS in a lot of places (preferring explicit global
declarations), but it might be worth looking into.
