You mean, it *is* possible to have 4 and 5 side-by-side with the same apache as
modules? I thought I read somewhere that this isn't possible, at least not with
the modules, one would need to run one of them as CGI.

It's not for development, it's for a site I sponsor and I thought we try and see
if the site works on PHP5 and just jump right to PHP5. I wanted an easy way to
switch back to PHP4/between the two until any problems are sorted out and we can
stay on PHP5. Installing/removing the PHP4 or 5 package-set may just provide the
same, I agree.
