I'm sure there's lots of "cruft" that could/should be gone over.  
Obviously the session stuff is pretty much useless, except where you 
would want to put sessions into a database (php defaults to using files 
I believe) or you already use phplib.  So, we should keep the sessions 
merely as a compatibility layer, and as a *"session_set_save_handler()" 
*extension.

I dont know if you are familiar with phpslash, but they've made some 
nice extensions to the phplib auth/perm which ought to be integrated 
back into phplib (and they are some of the same people too).  There's 
also some other nice things there I think should be part of phplib, like 
a way of handling class files and being able to overide them, which is cool.

I guess the pear::template_phplib has some improvements we could back-port.

Anybody else listening?
