Description:
------------
Drupal 7, the upcoming version of Drupal, is about to ship 
and depends on PHP 5.2 and PDO. Sadly, there are a lot of 
bogus installation instructions over the internet that 
suggest to install PDO using:

pecl install pdo
pecl install pdo_mysql

Crazily, those two extensions still build cleanly on PHP 
5.2, leading users to unwillingly use a completely outdated 
code base.

Since we couldn't find a way to reliably detect the version 
of the PDO extension from PHP code, could we change the 
meta-data of those packages so that they conflict with any 
version of PHP >= 5.1.0?

The new version of the pecl web site should not allow to install extensions not maintained in pecl anymore but in core.
