dialup_admin php3 vs. php

Doesn't GIT have magic for that? Googling suggests that it has a "rename 
detection" and will keep history if you do a "git mv". I'm not into GIT 
at all though, so treat this just as an uneducated comment by an 
outsider :-)

In any case, if we keep sticking to php3 people might run away from it, 
thinking "Yuck! What an old code!" (well, this is somewhat true 
regardless of the file extension, admitted ;-) ) or have to change their 
Web server config to treat php3 as PHP code. That's what I had to do; a 
superfluous step of fiddling where none should be needed.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
