Description:
------------
The data returned from a $rs->fetch() should use native data types when applicable.  Currently all data is turned into strings.  Using native data types will not only provide a way for the user to easily check the data type.  It should also give a performance enhancement since everything does not need to be turned into a string.  Some other database adapters already provide this ability.

I have included a patch to add this functionality however I did have to modify /ext/pdo/pdo_stmt.c due to the way it was handling returning of zval's.  It was expecting a ***zval when it really should of been a **zval.  Due to this excessive pointer requirement any other pdo database driver that returns zval's will need to be fixed.  I included in my patch a possible fix for the mysqlng pdo driver since I believe this is the only driver that uses it.  I say possible fix because I have not tested the mysqlng support part of it.  The patch also includes my patch for Bug #61183 - Firebird PDO memory corruption.  It should also fix Bug #60052 - Integer returned as a 64bit integer on X64_86.  It also fixes the patch that was improperly applied in Bug #47415 - PDO_Firebird segfaults when passing lowercased column name to bindColumn().

Could you split the patch for each bug the ones that you mentioned at the end

Also i will ask about the patching of /ext/pdo/pdo_stmt.c , i'm not sure what is 
the right way so i better ask on the list first

The problem with the ***zval is I could not figure out how to return such a data type without causing a memory leak.  The extra pointer to a pointer just seemed excessive and removing it solved my problem.

As for splitting the patches, a few of them depend on each other so there is no good way to split them without creating patches that do not work with each other.  The patch for bug #61183 has already been submitted there and is simple enough that it could be removed from my submitted patch here by hand.  Bug #60552 gets fixed because the majority of the time I'm using native data types so I can't exactly remove it from my native data type support patch.
As for Bug #47415 that patch was just improperly applied to the php source tree and ended up in the wrong switch statement.  I suppose that could be pulled out of this patch but I did also modify the PDO_PARAM_EVT_FETCH_POST case which the patch was embedded in.  I don't remember why I removed most of that PDO_PARAM_EVT_FETCH_POST switch statement.  I think it was because I couldn't figure out why it was ever needed or even run.  It's also possible it may have caused a crash but I don't recall it's been too long.
