That doesn't make 5.3 unstable though...
Unstable no .. and even php_interbase is perfectly stable on it!
Unusable no ..
A pain because you have to add stuff from various sites which were once all
bundled on php.net ... most definitely yes
A download of PHP5.2.x simply works out of the box on windows ... currently some
of us have to jump through hoops to create a downloadable windows build of 5.3
that our customers can use.
The problem is quite definitely because of the quagmire of library versions that
exist on windows and as yet my own customers are only just talking about loosing
W2k so many of the newer versions are not necessary. But we DO need a clean
source of the 'new' format windows builds and that is something Pierre obviously
does not have the time to provide, hence the proliferation of builds from other
sites rather than direct from windows.php.net
