I may be speaking out of my ass :-)  Just looking at sapi/apache_hooks, it
seems that ini processing changed significantly between 5.2 and 5.3.  Guess
I should be paying closer attention :)

Actually, it's the engine, at least as I've seen it documented and users
attempting to leverage the feature :)

As far as dependencies, if they are borked on PHP, they affect a really
broad range of open source on Windows, at least.  You can push them, you
can pull them along, but politely accepting their shortcomings won't really
move our ecosystem anywhere ;-)
