Before we go beta, I'd like to see php_check_syntax() disappear (as it 
seems it will never be "fixed").

It's had function table problems since its inception (IIRC, it runs 
php_lint_script -- but php_lint_script was never designed to clean up 
after itself; the process was supposed to terminate after a php -l)

I spoke with Ilia (and Rasmus) a few nights ago, and they agreed that it 
would be best to get rid of php_check_syntax() altogether (it would take 
too much effort to fix, and we already have a mechanism for syntax 
checking (php -l)).

Anyway, if we're going Alpha, this isn't an issue, yet -- if we're going 
Beta, then I'd like to see it removed.
