 * When I active this plugin, Fatal Error :
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
   T_STATIC in [LINK]/wp-content/plugins/wp-performance-pack/wp-performance-pack.
   php on line 81

 * The reason is that yu are using a pre 5.3 version of PHP. This is being tested
   on activation, but while refactoring the code this usage of static must have 
   slipped through and is now used before the version test.
 * I will fix that with the next release, but activation will then fail for you 
   because the PHP requirements for WPPP aren’t met. When I finished reworking the
   code, I might change the behaviour so those parts of WPPP, which don’t require
   PHP 5.3 or later will work. But for now you would have to upgrade PHP. Sorry.
