right now all function deklarations under ext/ use the PHP_* macros
while those under Zend/ use the ZEND_* ones with the exception of
your module

even the ext_skel script generates template files with PHP_* macros, and
as it it the official tool for the creation of new extensions it seems
to be the RIGHT THING (tm)

from a quick look at main/php.h and Zend/zend_API.h the only difference
i see is that they prepend different prefixes to the function names you
provide

the c implementaton of a PHP_FUNCTION(name) becomes php_if_name() while
a ZEND_FUNCTION(name) becomes zend_if_name()

and, bye the way, the macros contianing _NAMED_ do not change the name
you provided, so a php function name() would be implemented in a
C function name(), that might be the problem you reported in ccvs.c
