Ah yeah, it won't solve it, but it'll allow interested server
operators to ensure that they serve up valid URLs.  The old
php.ini-dist didn't have an entry for the arg-separator,
and it could only take a single char.  Now, it can take a 
string, so you can define it to be '&amp;' without problems.

I'm not sure if they've changed the default in the php.ini
to &amp; or not, but we can just put a note in our test.php
as a warning I guess.
