For PHP 5.3 on, I'd be happy to see the Windows builds of PDO_OCI only
produce php_pdo_oci.dll and no longer also build php_pdo_oci8.dll.
The latter uses an older set of Oracle client libraries that allows
connections to Oracle 7 and 8.0 databases.

The impact is that users on Windows will no longer be able to connect
to the older databases unless they compile the extension themselves.

The benefit is reduced user confusion and PDO maintenance.

The change is to remove the pdo-oci8 section of ext/pdo_oci/config.w32
and tidy up associated Windows DLL release infrastructre.
