Comment (by scribu):

 I don't think we should waste effort on making plugins/themes that still
 don't use $wpdb work in PHP 5.4.

 The cleanest way to start using PDO would be something like this:

 {{{
 if ( PDO is available ) {
   require 'wp-includes/wp-db.php';
   $wpdb = new wpdb( ... );
 } else {
   require 'wp-includes/wp-db-legacy.php';
   $wpdb = new wpdb_legacy( ... );
 }
 }}}
