this would be of immense, immense help to 3rd party distributors of php, such
as debian (and redhat, and others, i'm sure). currently it's a rather
trying experience to go digging through commit histories for something that
was fixed "in the latest cvs snapshot" at some point in time. i think i
posted a feature request along these lines at some time in the past... :)
