I have to ask: what does renaming really buy us? The only purpose of introducing this class in RC6, as far as I can tell, was to reserve the 'Date' name for future use. Since this goal is clearly unachievable, what is the point of keeping a barely functional class around (as PhpDate)? In my opinion, we should remove it (#ifdef it out), and wait until we are ready for the full implementation and can pick a good name, or until we have namespaces and can use them to separate PHP's own classes.

The attached patch is a possible solution to the date *crisis*, it
renames the class to PhpDate to avoid any namespace conflicts with pear
or custom user classes called date.

If there are no strong objection 5.1.1 (5.1.0 + this patch and nothing
else) goes out on Monday.
