        !             4:                 support of overloaded extensions, possibly differentiate 
        !             5:                 between class and namespace as discussed with Stig in 
        !             6:                 Germany.

        !             8: Time frame:     Couple of months for first part and extensions will be
        !             9:                 ongoing while PHP is being fixed.
        !            10:                 Things to leave for later versions: Native aggregation
        !            11:                 support, accessing static members via object and not class.
        !            12:

        !            24: Component:      Thread Safety
        !            25:                 Identify the extensions that are not thread safe by design 
        !            26:                 or due to dependant libraries and identify them as such. 
        !            27:                 If possible try to resolve thread safety issue via code 
        !            28:                 improvements (if php code or patches will be accepted by 
        !            29:                 library maintainers).   For situations where thread safety 
        !            30:                 cannot easily be acheived a flag in the extension API is 
        !            31:                 set so PHP can identify non-thread safe extensions.  These 
        !            32:                 extensions will not be loaded in a ZTS compiled binary 
        !            33:                 (unless it is cli/cgi).

        !            40:                 Environment variables defined in the CGI spec need to be 
        !            41:                 verified in each SAPI module that they conform to the CGI 
        !            42:                 spec correctly.  If they do not, the SAPI module needs to 
        !            43:                 fix the variable prior to script execution.  Having this 
        !            44:                 conformity will aid in having PHP scripts run correctly 
        !            45:                 under different sapi modules.

        !            53:                 (are there more ?) to work with the new oo api and preferably
        !            54:                 by using ext/rpc.
        !            55: Responsibility: Harald
        !            56: Time frame:     2 months (but i have to wait for a few engine features first)

        !            62:                 to have for the release and which can be ported by the maintainer
        !            63:                 later as a separate pecl release.
        !            64:                 A list of extensions to be extended that have to be investigated:

        !            66:                   * aggregate
        !            67:                   * all *sql extensions (*_fetch_object)
        !            68:                   * domxml (seems like christian is rewriting it anyways)

        !            81:                 resources. Also developing an automated test thing which
        !            82:                 cvs ups's, compiles and tests the build on a daily base on
        !            83:                 as much platforms/extensions as possible.
