Hi,

the php-src/ dir is quite filled with outdated READMEs and TODOs, any
objection to remove these files:

README.PHP4-TO-PHP5-THIN-CHANGES
README.QNX
README.UPDATE_5_2
README.Zeus
TODO
TODO-5.1
TODO-PHP5
UPGRADING

The TODOs seem to be quite outdated, the Upgrading guides for 5.0, 5.1
and 5.2 are part of the documentation meanwhile. 5.3 will get a new one.

Related to that:

ChangeLog in 5.3 is kind of awkward: It only lists changes in 2005,
until HEAD became PHP 6. In HEAD it's a long file covering 2005-2008,
anybody wants to clean that up :-)

README.TESTING2 might need an update, run-tests2.php doesn't exist, but
server-tests.php does, anybody maintining that?

README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM - does this require updating for the new build
infrastructure?

I think the TODOs can be safely killed and a single one restarted  
based on the release wiki.

Can we hang on to the UPGRADING file please, it's not actually a 
version-specific file :) just the contents need updating.

Thanks,
