I have 2 things in mind now (ext/date being out of my mind
actually....):

ext/gd
- sync with official GD (both directions this time)
  * gif write mode and partial rewrite of the read mode.
  * Drop GD1 extern support
  * Drop FT1 support

ext/xmlwriter
include it so it "can" be tested

I know how annoying it is :)


That raises again the possible need to split ext/* from the "core"
repository, all together 5.1 stops commits for 2 months until it is
released, sounds a bit too much to me. Am I alone to have some
spare times during summer hollydays? ;)

However, not like I will not survive to do not commit, not the 1st
time for 5.1 ;) So if everyone likes to stop public developements
during the whole 5.1 releases phases, fine with me.
