[ppa-dev] Update

[Christopher Kings-L. <ch...@fa...>]

Just so you guys know what I'm doing in my 10 minutes a day of free time!

I'm changing webdb so that it relies on the superglobals of PHP 4.1+ and
i've configured my apache to not register_globals.  This makes webdb
dependent on PHP 4.1 tho.  I'm personally not a hell of a lot concerned
because:

(1) We need the security features
(2) I've already used lots of recent featrues <?= & foreach for example
(3) By the time webdb is released, everyone should be running 4.1+ ;)

Also, I'm kinda thinking about making WebDB require postgres 7.3 or greater.
This is because of the whole schemas issue.  Unless we can think of a way of
lettign webdb handle shema-less and schema-full databases.

Actually, I guess we will need to make it handle both types - otherwise we
can't support mysql...
