I'm sure many would benefit from the use of PHP4's extension config code.
I doubt that many of the sites would mind upgrading to PHP4 anyways, as
installing mapscript requires a recompile of PHP4 anyways. I usually use
Apache Toolbox to compile my server; if mapscript-php used PHP4 extension
configuration code, support could be added to it in Apache Toolbox, thus
making it easier to compile for everyone. =)
