Now it's clear what the issue is... the usage of compiled "libraries". We need some middleware between the core and PHP. That way extensions could be written in PHP, compiled and distributed in some "library" format. Library users just add them into their path, include them, and use the classes/functions as usual. - No OS dependence - minimum dependence with core version - size of core will reduce drastically - faster runtime, include only what libs you use, as you need them
