[TYPO3-ect] div does not run under PHP4

[Simon Tuck]

The div extension states compatibility with PHP 4 & 5 above the 
copyright notice. The fix would be fairly simple: as PHP4 does not 
support static variables in the class scope, a constructor would be a 
workaround. But I notice that the class also uses the self keyword. So I 
guess the extension should require PHP >= 5
What's the official take on this?
