This change is needed to address a bug in older versions of PHP 5.3
affecting inheritance (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66818).
We will most likely resort to a workaround in v1.0 to stick with the
currently required minimum version of PHP (>= 5.3.2), but v1.1 will
surely require => 5.3.9.

We still use Onion's package.ini for the configuration of the package
to keep things simple, but we might switch to a more compact solution
in the future since we do not really need much of its features.
This commit marks the start of works for the next major release of
Predis which will bring various breaking changes needed to polish the
internal design making the library even more flexible to use or extend
and, more importantly, almost stable in terms of API.
The Redis commands API exposed by Predis\Client is not going to change
much if not at all which is a good news. The most immediate changes
affecting developers will involve the renaming of a few namespaces and
classes, the removal of some previously deprecated classes and methods
and some tweaks to the current abstractions.
Right now the plan is to have a fast paced development to release this
version as soon as possible, ideally a few weeks later than Redis 2.8,
then wait to see the final definition of redis-cluster so that we can
tweak our code if needed and finally hit the v1.0.0 milestone with as
few changes as possible. Furthermore, v1.x will most likely be the
last version of Predis supporting PHP 5.3 as we will start migrating
to PHP 5.4 (or even 5.5) with v2.x, which is not going to happen soon
anyway.
This commit addresses issues #124 and #126. LICENSE will be installed
with the "doc" role while phpunit.xml.dist will be installed with the
"test" role.

Since Pearhub is currently broken (unfortunately the project does not seem to
be actively mantained anymore) but we still want to have PEAR packages for our
library, we need to automate the creation of a package.xml definition file to
build the actual packages that will be uploaded on a self-hosted PEAR channel.
Onion, while still in its alpha stage right now, works perfectly fine for our
needs and its own package.ini file looks simple enough to edit and maintain.
See http://c9s.github.com/Onion for more details about Onion and thank @c9s
for making it available.
