It'll break - hard.

It's the same old story: The BlueOnyx GUI needs PHP-5.1.6, or Sausalito will 
bitch six days 'til Sunday, as it's compiled against that specific version of 
PHP. 

There are four available options:

- Leave it as it is.

- Get an upgraded BlueOnyx PHP package from one of the vendors.

- Compile an updated PHP into a non-standard location. Leave the AdmServ so 
that it still uses the onboard PHP-5.1.6, while the public Apache uses the 
upgraded PHP that's installed into the non-standard location.

- Advanced method: Compile the latest PHP and recompile Sausalito to use that 
one instead. However: Whenever PHP is upgraded, you may have to repeat that 
step and you detour from the "safe" upgrade and patching path.
