Divergence of the API layers, and I would like to get into 
some of the facilities that are currently not very well 
supported. There is no panic on this which is why I'm happy 
to wait until PHP5 has been released, but it may become a 
problem.

I've spent a lot more time fault finding with the likes of 
the ADOdb layer, than the next layer down, and currently 
having to live with the inactivity of Borland on Builder VCL 
support, I'm looking to the future. When I see major changes 
taking place I get a bit jittery - I've already lived 
through three rebuilds of my application code base thanks to 
Borland, and so I don't want to back the wrong horse this 
time :)
