[Maintain] PHP 5 Compatibility

[Kevin Purdy]

Sam,
	Make sure you're on the latest version of Maintain (you might have to pull from SVN, as we haven't made a release
with recent changes), as we just recently fixed a bug regarding modules and config files (namely, module dirs and config files
are all named lowercase, but modules refer to their class names, which are camel-case, a very silly bug indeed).  A quick fix
for this is to simply go in to the module and rename it to all lowercase (where it says 'class Build_DNS' to 'class build_dns').
This will fix the config file bug.  In regards to the other issue, I havent seen it before, but it sounds like a similar bug,
which is probably fixed in the trunk.
