Hi,

Could some guys look into the downloads available from php.net:

   http://cvs.php.net/phpweb/distributions/

There are quite a few 2 and even 3 years old patchfiles, like:

   rfc1867.c.diff-4.0.6.gz
   php-4.3.0-to-4.3.1.patch.gz
   php-4.0.6-to-4.1.1.patch.gz
   php-4.0.6-memlimit.diff.gz
   fd_patch-php-4.3.2.diff.gz
   ....

I would remove them, but it would be nice if someone would strengthen me 
in this, so that my head will not get shouted off if I remove some 
important stuff.

Also I would remove quite a few dated packages, since most of them are 
available through the PHP museum, but then again, not all of them. The 
museum has:

   php-4.3.1-installer.exe
   php-4.3.2-installer.exe
   php-4.3.4-installer.exe

But no 4.3.3 installer. Also the museum seems to have been updated last
time around 4.3.9RC1, so it might need some new stuff added.

Removing stuff means less load on the CVS server for people checking out 
phpweb and less load on the rsync server for people setting up private 
mirrors.
