In order to install mediawiki, it appears we need PHP 5+. Current on
osgeo1 is PHP 4.3.9. Seems like time to review our other dependencies -
and plan an upgrade.

According to:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installation

"This page guides you through the process of installation of the latest
stable version on Linux. There is another page for installation from
Subversion. The 1.6 series is the last to support versions of PHP earlier
than PHP 5."

1.6 is still receiving bugfixes. Seems like it would be possible to go
with 1.6.10.

Closing as there seems to be no reason to upgrade to php5 on osgeo1. The
mediawiki migration ticket is #103.
