[imp] Upgrade to PHP 4.4.0 Horde problem

Shockingly, when you upgrade to a new major version of a piece of 
software that breaks backwards compatibility, things will break.

There are going to be a lot of these. But we will NOT fix them in old 
versions. If there is enough time and testing, Horde 3.0.5 will be 
clean, and fixes will be made for future FRAMEWORK_3 releases and of 
course in HEAD.

If you can't upgrade to the latest releases of Horde and its 
applications, you should NOT upgrade PHP. Period.

This has NOTHING to do with security. NOTHING.
