Drupal Override Function 6.x-1.5

UPDATE: I have changed the requirements from APD to Runkit OR APD instead. This gives you 2 options. If you use PHP 4 to 5.1 then using APD is the easier route but I dont have install instructions for that right now. If you use php 5.2 to 5.3 then you will need to use Runkit. I have not been able to get APD to work on anything greater than 5.1 yet so I've decided to include Runkit in the mix to cover all the PHP versions. Runkit does not have the ZendOptimizer compatibility problems that PECL APD has. It also works with php 5.2 and php 5.3 where as APD does not. But it is NOT without it's own problems. It's not really compilable from SVN/CVS nor it's own releases. It has to be patched before it'll even work, the project is a complete mess. So I've done this for you and included it.Test ModuleThere is now a test module included in this. It showcases what you can do quickly to override/redefine drupal functions. It takes one of the most commonly used drupal functions "drupal_set_message" and completely overrides it with a NEW function. This new function works exactly like the original with 1 exception. It causes a javascript alert box to popup up everytime drupal_set_message() is called by ANY module. So this shows you that you can indeed modify drupal core functions WITHOUT modifying the core files themselves. It does this by using a new hook called hook_function_overrides() that the drupal_override_function module exposes. You can use this hook in your modules to override ANY function you want. But do NOT attempt to override PHP functions. It may "appear" to work, but you will notice random problems on the site. So dont go overriding something like print_r lol. Neither APD nor Runkit are stable enough to do that.
