Yes, so we need a list plus at least two volunteers for everything on the list 
for php4 and php5 testing.

So, to start the list (with apologies to authors of important software I've 
missed out!):

make test
phpMyAdmin
Phorum
phpBB
SquirrelMail
FUDForum

I guess as well as a software list, we need an important platform list so we 
know that an RC has been exercised on at least:
Linux X86 Apache module
Linux X86_64 Apache module
BSD Apache module
Solaris Apache module
Windows Apache CGI
Windows IIS CGI (and perhaps ISAPI - is that OK these days?)
Something with Fast CGI

Please add and/subtract to/from the above lists. We don't want either list to 
get too big, otherwise we'll never get enough volunteers to cover the 
spectrum.
