I've just been working through some of the other add-ons and a couple 
more questions poped up.
What is happening with PECL in windows for 5.3?

Anybody know if there is a 5.3 build of php_imagick or magickwand ? This 
used to be available via PECL, but seems to have evaporated at some point?

As yet there is no 5.3 build for eAccelerator ... but a build of that 
has been requested.
