[dev] Pear package.xml files

[Mike Cochrane]

Hi all,

I've started playing around with the package.xml files for packagaing up some
parts of horde.

I'm just wondering about where to store and how to name the xml files. Currently
they are store in the folder for that library and called package.xml. This is
fine for the libraries that have folders. Including files from the libs folder
is a bit messy with this solution though.

What i would like to do is have the xml files located in the libs folder and
called library.xml. eg /horde/lib/VFS.xml or Cipher.xml.
Benifits I see:
 - Easier to include the base library file, no install-as required.
 - Easier to include tests from the tests folder.
 - Allows for classes that don't have a subfolder eg String
 - All packages can be repackaged easily (eg in dos: for %a in (*.xml) do pear
package %a)

The pear packager is not worries what the name of the xml files is.

Comments / Questions?
