Hi all!
I've add one more encoding to the mbstring and sent diff files to
mbstring maintainer. But he have add my changes only to the 5.1
version. Is it possible to add my changes into 4.x version's release?

No, we will not add new features to PHP 4.x.

Actually, that's a bundled libmbfl library update as for instance in
4.3.11 version (iso-8859-16 was added).

That's definitely something we don't want to do in a stable bug-fix 
branch only.

 Yes, PHP_4_4 is a bugfix-only branch, too.

Yes, it's just named to 4.4 because a backward incompatible change in 
PHP was put in to get rid of the reference related bugs.

I thought it was renamed so Ilia could hand the release coordinator
job off to you ;)
