Elmar,

It seems like I seriously misinterpreted the whole effort, because I 
thought:

1. ECT is actually building *for* 5.0
2. Building for 4.x would mean so much compromise that all development 
is trapped in backwards-compat issues all the time. This starts already 
by yet another glue layer implementing PHP5 functions for PHP4, which I 
absolutely won't understand.
3. I didn't know the form lib was designed to be obsolete when finished...

Cheers,
Michael
