 create_function() calls are essentially a form of eval() where the body of
 the functions is defined at runtime rather than compile time. This patch
 removes all but one of the calls within the translation code.

 There are a few reasons for doing this, one is apc can't cache the results
 of the function definition and secondly HipHop doesn't support complex
 create_function definitions.

 Most of the references were array_filter / array_map and replaced with a
 simple foreach.

 Others were sorting and a callback function was added.
