Having tests in multiple branches is PITA. Hasn't anyone considered that the

runnable using any PHP version?
Thats actually a fairly good idea.
Some tests however are not supposed to work in earlier releases, so we
need to either add a new
==SKIP-VERSION==
5.2, 5.1, 5.0
or add more things to skipif.
Further - that might also offer a path for identifying better what features are
added with a version?
I'm still having fun with some aspects of making code compatible to 5.3 while
still working with PHP4. Ideally it would have been nice to freeze our last 5.2
builds as the final PHP4 compatible versions, but 5.3 crept out in the field and
so we have a bit of a mess with people complaining about 'bugs' which are simply
warning messages. On one hand telling them how to change PHP settings to ignore
them is probably the correct action, but you all know what users are like ;)
