The distinct binary packages ap-php-4.3.9 and ap-php-5.0.2 would
be made as side product if php4-extensions and php5-extensions
meta packages, don't they?

My main objective to have pkgsrc fully usable with PHP 5.x, i.e.
only require PHP4 depends for stuff which really works only with
PHP4, such as php4-apc and the like. It's also convenient if 'make
update' in lang/php5/ works to upgrade from a PHP 4.x installation,
or vice versa for downgrade.
