I'd like to merge ext/yaz source (not config.m4) from HEAD to PHP4 
branch (which I assume would be in 4.3.6, when out). That's bad carma, 
right?

FWIW, the YAZ API in PHP5 is completely backwards compatible with that 
of PHP4. I have now for more than a year built separate Debian packages 
for this for PHP 4.1.2 with source from HEAD.

Unless it fixes some critical major bad bugs, no, you're not allowed
to merge from HEAD.

Why not put it into PECL ?

Worth considering. That means taking it out from php-src as well, I suppose.

Should documentation move away from phpdoc also?

I intent to move it, when time permits. After Easter. It should be 
trivial, as far as I can tell.

If you want to preserve CVS history, I can do some magic on the CVS machine.
Also note that you need to create a PECL_4_3 branch from the PHP_4_3 branch
of that extension.

Let me know when you're ready.
