the constraint is that all need to run on php4.3.6 and 5.3
I have one function called my_clone($obj) {} , if is php5 it is serialized
and deserialized (to clone member recursively), if php4 just return the
parameter.

In first moment Im migrating all assignments to use my_clone and later
manual update each one. im ignoring some obvious assignments like strings,
concatenation, constants and so on.
The system have about 3 million of php 4.3.6 lines, no way to manual
migrating.

By now im mixing ER + token_get_all but is like build a parser...
