Right now magic_quotes_gpc exists in both PHP4 and PHP5, which 0.1-stable will support. It will also exist for a while in PHP5.

The problem is, even deprecated when deprecated in a future version of PHP, many people use it now (for whatever reason). Therefor - when it's on/enabled, it breaks RoundCube and therefor this check is still necessary.

I am closing this issue because PHP6 is not even remotely "here". We'll remove the check, once PHP has finally gotten rid off it. Until then, we need it. I see that we will have PHP5 with us for at least two more years until all support is dropped. And it's probably gonna be long.
