Description

Currently WordPress requires PHP 4.2, however, There are few PHP 4.3+ functions in use around WP which do not have a compat function:

ob_get_flush() = wp-includes/widgets.php
html_entity_decode() - wp-admin/import/blogger.php, wp-includes/widgets.php
ob_get_clean() - wp-admin/plugins.php

Any other PHP 4.3+ functions either have logic im place to use alternate methods, or there is a compatible function in compat.php for it.
