Description:
------------
I regularly recompile PHP 5.3.27 on Windows (VC9) when a dependency has been updated (like Curl). This time the timezonedb extension did not compile anymore. Error:

> Your version of timelib does not understand the timzonedb data format, please upgrade

This was introduced in this revision: https://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/timezonedb/trunk/timezonedb.h?r1=352315&r2=352314&pathrev=352315 

PHP 5.4.41 uses exactly the same timelib files on Windows and it still happlly compiled. So I changed https://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/timezonedb/trunk/timezonedb.c?view=markup and defined TIMELIB_SUPPORTS_V2DATA for PHP 5.3.27 as well. It compiled and loaded fine after this change.

I know PHP 5.3.27 is really old, but the PECL info still states that timezonedb is for 'PHP 5.2.0 or newer'.

Test script:
---------------
Compile timezonedb with PHP 5.3.27 on Windows.

I think that should be fixed in package.xml.

I thought I had updated that. But it shouldn't have been in a tinezonedb PECL package release at least?

The minimum PHP version in http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pecl/timezonedb/trunk/package.xml?view=markup still is 5.2.0.

Waht is the reason PHP 5.3.29 is excluded now? After adding PHP 5.3.29 to timezonedb.c, it compiled and loaded fine. I did not run the tests though. Are they expected to fail?

PHP 5.3 would not be able to use this new data format, and the `package.xml` file was wrong. I have now corrected that.
