yes and no, the only thing that has to be stable is the directory layout of
phpESP. As long as it is like
.../phpESP  <= here is the new config file
             /admin
             /handler
             /survey
you have no problem with my changes. These assume that the three directories
are one level lower than the root installation directory. The advantage of
my changes is that you only have to specify the installation directory _once_
- in the new config file. In the "normal" 1.4 version I had to change four
(?) files.
An added plus is that you can easier switch between a local and a web
installation of phpESP, in case you are constantly modifying the software according
to your needs.
You change on the local system, then comment out one line in the new config
file and now you can upload the changes (once the data base access infos are
also defined two times - local and web).

Great! Could my "old" version of PHP (4.0.5) also be a cause for the strange
effects with gettext?

Ok, I agree ..
