A VC6 extension is not compatible with a VC9 build (or the other way
round). It crashes randomly depending on what the extension does
(xdebug for one is really good for this test :).

PHP 5.3 will provide VC9 and VC6 builds, we need such a safety check
to avoid too much pain for our users and us (I already get many bogus
reports about people using VC6 extensions with VC9 builds, or VC9
extensions with VC6 builds).

By the way, VS2008 Express is free and 100% compatible with a normal
VS2008. You may use it so you can use our VC9 builds directly or
provide extensions for it.

Cheers,
