phLXR / Chora integration

Hi there,

I'm the author of phLXR, an equivalent of LXR for PHP programs,
written in PHP. When I released v0.1, Chuck contacted me asking
me whether I'd like to integrate it with Chora. Of course I said 
yes. Unfortunatelly, I haven't had time to work on it since the 
0.1 release, so that's where it is.

I'd like to revive the development of phLXR now, and, well, have
a couple of pleas:

1) if anyone of you feels like you want to help, it'll be much
appreciated
2) since it looks like the CVS server at sf.net isn't very 
reliable (looks like I encountered repeated losses of revisions),
I'm in search for a better home. Could it be hosted it on your
CVS server?

The 0.1 release has the following features (I formed phLXR after 
LXR, so they're very similar from a user POV):

ident - functions / methods and classes (methods are not recognized
from functions, so they're indexed as those)
source - displays hypertexted source of indexed PHP files (partial
support for linking include()'d / require()'d files)
search - only identifier search (IOW, ident) is implemented, with 
plans for filename and fulltext searches.

phLXR 0.1 works only w/ "static" directory trees, the goal #1 is 
to get it to work on CVS repositories.

BTW, phLXR is BSDL'd, and you can get the 0.1 release at 
http://phlxr.sourceforge.net/ If you want to see phLXR in action, 
look at http://www.1st.cz/cynic/phlxr/
