scripts, making for cleaner reporting during batch jobs. PHP errors will also
be redirected in most cases on PHP 5.2.4 and later, switching 'display_errors'
to 'stderr' at runtime.
* Fix some scripts that assumed include_path was set with various additional directories
Stuff now seems to mostly work when not overriding include_path.
Taking that out of LocalSettings is the next step... whee!

... There are certain to be other things too, so this is not intended to be comprehensive, rather the above just stops most of the notifications I observed.
* Using Language::getMessagesFor instead of creating new language objects.
* Allowing a parameter which specifies the language code to check instead of the default one, in checktrans.php, duplicatetrans.php and unusedMessages.php.
checktrans.php still does not work; duplicatetrans.php still works improperly.
* Made lines from initialiseMessages() appear as list items during installation
* Moved the bulk of the localisation data from the Language*.php files to the Messages*.php files. Deleted most of the Languages*.php files.
* Introduced "stub global" framework to provide deferred initialisation of core modules.
* Removed placeholder values for $wgTitle and $wgArticle, these variables will now be null during the initialisation process, until they are set by index.php or another entry point.
* Added DBA cache type, for BDB-style caches.
* Removed custom date format functions, replacing them with a format string in the style of PHP's date(). Used string identifiers instead of integer identifiers, in both the language files and user preferences. Migration should be transparent in most cases.
* Simplified the initialisation API for LoadBalancer objects.
* Removed the broken altencoding feature.
* Moved default user options and toggles from Language to User. Language objects are still able to define default preference overrides and extra user toggles, via a slightly different interface.
* Don't include the date option in the parser cache rendering hash unless $wgUseDynamicDates is enabled.
* Merged LanguageUtf8 with Language. Removed LanguageUtf8.php.
* Removed inclusion of language files from the bottom of Language.php. This is now consistently done from Language::factory().
* Add the name of the executing maintenance script to the debug log. Start the profiler during maintenance scripts.
* Added "serialized" directory, for storing precompiled data in serialized form.
$wgUsePHPTal setting no longer exists; if a PHPTAL-based skin is used it will attempt to load PEAR+PHPTAL and gracefully disable itself if it can't.
Todo: get the list of skins in preferences to reflect this kind of disabling, so unselectable skins don't need to be moved into disabled subdir to be hidden.
* Put some option handling code in commandLine.inc which is untested and unused (for the moment).
* Converted all existing command line scripts to use the standard header and argument array.
* Did a quick test of compressOld.php, rebuildall.php and rebuildMessages.php to check for breakage.
* rebuildall.php was broken due to the unmaintained rebuildlinks.php, so I converted it to use refreshLinks instead. Required splitting into refreshLinks.inc and refreshLinks.php
