Need a better/automated way to run the phpts from Zend ... *sigh*.

Will see if I can hack up that fast-cli mode quickly.

I just wanted no refcount++/-- for the update process - increments as
you suggest would involve that, to prevent clobbering odd memory during
an expunge (and apc_inc in parallel, tiny window after the lock before
the ++).

It uses regex_t which is sort of being deprecated all over php land.

Here's a quick patch which uses pcre_* instead. And I notice that the
iterator destroy leaks out the regex_t anyway (figuring it out for
pcre is on my TODO list anyway).

http://t3.dotgnu.info/code/apc_iterator_pcre.patch

I'd like to remove the smart_str code in there and accept "/[0-9]0/"
as a pattern into the iterator, so that everyone's clear that they
have to escape slashes.

Pierre was rather pointed about ereg/regex_t usage (for the filters).
And pcre is a core ext from 5.3 anyway.

Yup, doing an "\0apc_compile_file" constant for him to check which
ext was loaded first.
