Just removing the "-dev" in the version number would be wrong (as is
symlinking), a Stable PHP release should include "stable" extensions.
Not dev versions of the extension. So one of the ideas is to fetch the
last stable extension release for a PHP release, but well, then there's
the problem that everybody (people using snaps, people using CVS, ...)
end up with different versions which makes QA hard. (not to mention bug
hunting trouble with people using the latest release but updated a
single extension, ....)
