sure... IFF the libraries are backwords compatible, force load of 7.
try it out with LD_PRELOAD, or force the .62 symlink to point to 7, temporarily?

Two comments though:

1. if it is nicely backwards compatible, i would think we wouldnt need
the two separate versions

2. we survived without captcha just fine for years. leave it off :)

but that  being said... we do need a php rebuild....
