I've done quite a bit of OO using php4.  It's not as full featured as
php5, but I wouldn't go as far to say it is "not real OO".  For things
it's doesn't do natively, there are decent workarounds. (ex: use a GLOBAL
in place of a static member, etc)

php4 is still widely used, and I think we should support it if it's not a
burden.
