PHP_Compat now supports this type of environmental change, the relevant file
being:
http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/pear/PHP_Compat/Compat/Environment/register_globals_on.php?view=markup&rev=1.3
Maybe this readme should point to it?

The PHP_Compat code is faulty too -- the S in variables_order etc. 
refers to _SERVER, not to _SESSION.
