Hi Joe,

Great, I'm glad to hear that's working for you now.  I do appreciate
your input, re: commit logs.  "Unbreak" is too nebulous, and I'll plan
to add further info like "fixed compiler error" in the future.

I admit we were in a bit of a rush to get various PHP modules building
again after the PHP 5.3.2 update, and I somehow missed the fact that
this one supported 5.3.2 with a new release of itself. I think I'll be
better prepared for this kind of thing in the future!

Regards,
Greg
