Since we do not know the name of the next version yet, maybe its best to
base the name on what version it will have as a predecessor and add
support for this in version_compare()? Something like "5.3post". Ok this
isnt a good suggestion, but I hope you get what I am suggesting.

We need a version number which can be represented as a numeric value
like

#define PHP_VERSION_ID 50303

to help extension authors; as said on IRC 5.4 is the only sane choice
there. We can still increase the number if needed.

How to document this is a good question...

How about 5.3.99? A lot of projects use this for pre-releases, but it still might make sense.
