Mark,

Thanks

In the mean someone pointed out that Red Hat application stack v2.3
contains PHP5.2.9.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem this includes
libmcrypt but I've registered for an evaluation subscription so we can
at least organize the POC on officially supported software.

IMHO this could be promoted better, if I hadn't received this feedback
on a mailing list I never would have checked this option.  And at 1599
EUR ($1999) it would make sense to publish this somewhere.
