 ------

+    * Make all extensions thread-safe.
+    * Make everything on the language-level independent of your locale 
+      settings.
+    * Change PHP error messages, so that they point to pages or sections 
+      in the PHP Manual.
+    * Make sure that all ZTS globals get destructed. Most ts_allocate_id()
       calls should have a dtor entry.

+    * on some platforms unimplemented function will just do nothing 
+      (e.g. symlink) they should print a warning or not even be defined!
+      (DONE ?)
+    * Finish PHP streams abstraction, nuke all that issock stuff, implement SSL
+      socket support. (wez)
+        - ext/ftp/ -> all FILEs to streams
+        - ext/bz2/ -> convert to stream impl.
+    * Use arg_separator.input to implode args in the CGI sapi extension
+      and arg_separator.input to explode in php_build_argv(). (DONE?)
+    * Change the odbc_fetch_into() function to require ALWAYS the first two
+      parameters ($conn_id and $array), and make the third (row) be optional.
+    * Remove --with-openlink configure option (--with-iodbc replaces it).
+    * Implement flush feature suitable for nested output buffers.
+
+    For PHP 5.0.0
+    * bundle and use curl lib for fopen wrapper.
     * --enable-all in configure. (--enable-shared=max ...)
     * make configure print out a summary when it's done (like XEmacs)
     * replace standard functions which work on static data with 
       reentrancy-safe functions (DONE?).
-    * on some platforms unimplemented function will just do nothing (e.g. symlink)

-    * implement javadoc based function docs template system.
-    * use thread-safe resolver functions (either require BIND 8 or adns).
-    * provide optional IPv6 support.
     * make SAPI conform to CGI/1.1. Currently, all SAPI modules
       define REMOTE_ADDR etc. themselves and reach only various level
       of compliance.
+    * see what functions might need to be changed to use HashPosition, so
