If you really want it out of PHP, please make it a PECL > package. The plan is to continue shipping php_pdo_oci.dll. This allows users to use PDO_OCI to connect to Oracle 8.1, 9.2, 10 and 11 Databases. The codebase for php_pdo_oci.dll and php_pdo_oci8.dll is the same (and only one can be enabled at a given time) Non-windows users of PDO_OCI would be not affected in anyway whatsoever.
