[php-maint] Bug#142178: php4: short_open_tag should default to off

[Sean Dubois]

Hey Ondřej do you want me to try and take this one?

What would be the easiest way to check what PHP programs are employing
short tags? I would end up installing each one and using grep (Or
something stronger in Python if needed) to scan the installed files
and look for short tags. I will just make up a CSV of what programs do
or do not use short tags.

I have done a decent amount of PHP programming and I have never seen a
program use ASP like tags.
