Description:
------------
To allow correct comparison of Mozilla versioning numbers (e.g. comparing user-agent strings), the token 'pre' should be added to version_compare. Mozilla use pre to indicate a pre-alpha release (e.g. 3.0a8pre is earlier than 3.0a8).

pre should have the same status as dev in /ext/standard/versioning.c

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo version_compare ('3.0a8pre', '3.0a8');

Expected result:
----------------
-1

Actual result:
--------------
1

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Says the documentation:
'version_compare() compares two "PHP-standardized" version number strings.'

PHP doesn't use 'pre'.
