So do I. Actually I changed over from PHPlibs built-in Template class to 
the HTML_Template_PHPLIB from PEAR. That has a similar API and works fine 
for me!

So did I.

I am using a mixture of OOForms and own code.

For authentication I use the PHPlib functionality.

It would be really cool if it would be possible to run my phplib-based 
application on PHP5 with RegisterGlobals=Off etc.

Improving code under the hood but keeping the API would be a great thing 
for migration to a new PHP.

I think I cannot help with the coding, but I am definitely voting for 
making it work on PHP5. I mean you mentioned that phplib does work well 
for you under PHP5... Perhaps I should give it a try myself. I think I 
actually did once and I think the authentication did NOT work at the time.

Thanks for your initiative.

Regards,
Marko
