[binarycloud-dev] xml makefiles

[<bin...@li...>]

hi all,

I'm looking at the build.xml that andi sent to the list, and barring a few
java-specific idiosyncrasies I like it a lot.

it provides a nice, easy way to extend the system (think:

    <target name="phpdoc">
        <phpdoc sourcedir="${build.dir}" targetdir="${docs.dir}"/>
    </target>

etc.

I am not in love with the idea of installing a jre to run make, but I can
see using a similar format in any system we come up with.

All the better, because we can php2xml these build files and run a really
fast php-native make system (hehe)

I'll have a look at the ants code..

Yep, I prefer that over all. But if we do so, we should make this system bc
independent. I mean generate "phpant"-code that does not depend on
binarycloud (even if this is a greater effort). I'm sure such a system is
also useful for other people doing development in php.

So i will.
