Thanks for your appreciation.

I think not upgrading all the php5-* ports will be the best thing to do,
so the latter.

PHP devs already told me it will be dropped soon (probably just before
summer), so creating a port for a few months has no sense. Anyway I have
no plan for lang/php52.

Anyone can do it, if it fits with my patch, doesn't create other 80
ports and works :-)

If you are not satisfied by the HOLD_PKGS solution and are going to
contribute with donations, contact me privately with your offer.
