I wasn't clear either.

If you intend to contribute to PHP core, as I do, you *need* to be able to 
build PHP_5_2, PHP_5_3 and CVS HEAD. There are different version 
requirements for a handful of libraries across those three PHP versions, 
e.g. c-client (although actually in 5_3 either version could be used, it 
doesn't say this on the library page but it does in PHP source.) If it turns 
out that other libraries are in the same situation as c-client, I'd be 
tempted to go for a lowest-common-denominator setup in the usual way and 
have optional include_exp and lib_exp directories to house later versions of 
working libraries - I'd just add the directory paths to my 'include' and 
'lib' paths first if I wanted to try those in 5_3, and I'd probably add them 
permanently to the CVS HEAD build. But I'm saying that before I've finished 
investigating, so it might not be feasible.

Yeah, I'm not quite _that_ dim :) Didn't download any of those.
