RE: [binarycloud-dev] re: xml makefiles

Hi Alex,

I've looked around if something similar exists out there (a php based build
tool). But I've fond nothing. There are plenty of preprocessors and tools
based on C but even within those nothing that reaches ant.

I'd also a brief look over the ant source. God, more files than ants in a
ant-hill ;-) I'll have a detailed look today.

My idea is to more or less port ant to php. So that in the far future both
systems at least behave equally. And additionally ours is better.
