 fail to activate on 1and1 with PHP4, or that WordPress auto update fails

 Ryan appears to have had problems installing under PHP 4 using MAMP (not
 1and1).  That would suggest that 2 out of 3 setups had problems under PHP
 4. Perhaps the decision to ignore this is a subtle shove in the back of
 the PHP4 laggards?  No arguments from me as long as this is the intent.

 The gp2b.com article referenced above calls out plugins that are PHP 5
 only, which neither NextGen nor PhotoSmash stipulate as a requirement.
