+    - project back end: add mechanism so that PHP scripts can be
+        run from the 'start' script in a way that works
+        with both PHP4 and PHP5.
+        To run html/ops/update_profile_pages.php, for example, put
+            <cmd>run_in_ops update_profile_pages.php</cmd>
+        in your config.xml file <task> entry.
+
+        (run_in_ops is a script that lives in bin/,
+        cds into ../html/ops, and executes its args)
