OK, I follow now. I remember trying to use the new dba_* interface many
months ago and it was still alpha. This is problematic since it will make
supporting 3.x PHP sites harder.

Perhaps we can try a search-and-replace on all the dbm* functions in
dbmlib.php and see if that works... and have an alternate file,
dbalib.php, and when a new installation is done test to see what version
of PHP is in use. Ugh. I never wanted to be an installation engineer. I
guess you have to take the bad with the good.
