Planed packaging changes
Build more extensions shared for flexibility
- in php-common: bz2, calendar, ctype, exif, ftp, gettext, iconv, sockets and tokenizer
- moved in php-gmp: gmp
- moved in php-process: shmop
- moved in php-xml: xml and simplexml
Drop libmysqlclient driver and only provide mysqlnd driver (this doesn't change mysql/mysqli extensions which can use both)
Add opcache extension (ZendOptimizer+, official upstream opcode cache) and remove opcode feature from APC (only kept for user data cache)
Activate dtrace/systemtap <sys/sdt.h> markers

Contingency Plan
Work in a dedicated build target. Merge only when all is ok.
There is some risk that finale version not released at f19 time, but in case, we'll ship a RC.
Compatibility with previous PHP 5.4 is rather good.
