Following files are still not "converted" to the new parameter parsing API:
- ext/interbase/ibase_blobs.c
- ext/interbase/ibase_query.c
- ext/mysql/php_mysql.c
- ext/mysqli/mysqli_embedded.c

I guess, patch for those still sits on someones ToDo list
Can we have this converted before alpha3, please?
