 wp-includes/widgets.php

 No more warnings or errors for the right use of $this->WP_Widget to create
 a new object of the class WP_Widget with PHP 5.
 The old helper constructor method WP_Widget() is only for PHP 4, so only
 those guys should get a deprecated warning/error message!!

 !!Please check all implementations of _deprecated_constructor in the
 methods that are named like the class name inside the wordpress project!!
 $php_version is not working at this place!
