<shrug>... I'm pretty familiar with the PHP source, and I write PHP modules (that use shared libs, no less), so I do know what's going on.

I don't mean to discourage you, Adam, but I maintain several packages that contain shared libraries, and I would be afraid to take on php4 by myself. I presume you are either far braver than I am, or don't realize what you're volunteering yourself for. ;) IMHO, given the number of binary packages php4 produces, it would be a good idea to have more than one developer working on this package. I'm willing to invest some time into it, but can't commit to being a sole maintainer. Petr, if you have some help beating down clueless bug reporters, would you be willing to stick it out a while longer while other developers get up to speed on the package?
