Changes (by ryan):

  * milestone:  2.9 => Future Release


Comment:

 class-pclzip.php uses ereg only if requested and mentions in a comment
 that it is deprecated.

 That leaves the PemFTP files and phpmailer.  PemFTP is used by class-wp-
 filesystem-ftpsockets.php.  ftpsockets is used only other fs backends are
 unavailable.  Fixing or replacing PemFTP is not priority.

 New versions of phpmailer eliminate the eregi, but those versions require
 PHP5+. We can look into backporting ereg removal for a future WP release.
