 * I’m just wondering if there’s any way to get around the PHP safe mode, so I can
   use the automatic upgrade when I upgrade my plugins (it’s sooooo tedious to do
   it via ftp every time!). My webhost wont turn it off, and I don’t really feel
   like changing. So is there any smart fix?

 * For automatic upgrade, I don’t think you need a PHP safe mode…

 * Yeah that I know. But now I happen to have it, and can’t get rid of it either,
   so I want to know if I can work around it.
