Comment (by scribu):

 [attachment:widgets.16768.diff] moves widget classes to
 {{{__construct()}}}.

 The PHP4 constructor in WP_Widget can't be removed because it's likely
 used by plugins.

 Patch also fixes the way WP_Widget::WP_Widget() calls {{{__construct()}}},
 avoiding an [http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14965/why-will-
 using-construct-instead-of-widget-class-name-when-creating-widget-trig
 endless loop].
