I don't particularly like the idea of carrying two PHP modules in Fedora
Core at least, one is big enough as it is. (you can't load two PHP
modules into Apache at the same time so there's no way of making both
work "out of the box" anyway)

I plan to prepare packages of 5.0.0 which people can test out; maybe we
can upgrade to PHP5 during the FC4 release cycle.  Maybe later.
