-  What is it?
-  -----------
-
-  Phing is a PHP based build tool. In theory it is kind of like "make"
-  without makes drawbacks and with the full portability and performance
-  of PHP. (PH)pmake (I)s (N)ot (G)numake
-  
-  Why?
-  ----
-
-  Why another build tool when there is already make, gnumake, nmake, jam, ant,
-  and others? Because all those tools have limitations that the binarycloud
-  development team could not live with when developing software across
-  different platforms. Make-like tools are inherently shell-based: they
-  evaluate a set of dependencies, then execute commands not unlike what you
-  would issue on a shell.
-  
-  This means that you can easily extend these tools by using or writing any
-  program for the OS that you are working on; however, this also means that
-  you limit yourself to the OS, or at least the OS type, such as Unix, that
-  you are working on.
-
-  Makefiles are inherently evil as well. Anybody who has worked on them for
-  any time has run into the dreaded tab problem. "Is my command not executing
-  because I have a space in front of my tab?!!". Tools like Jam took care of
-  this to a great degree, but still have yet another format to use and
-  remember. Of course there is the Java based build tool ant, that is very
-  good approach to what now Phing is. But still based on Java you have to have
-  at least a running JRE installation on your plattfrom.
-  Great for Java projects but we thought this is very consistent way to build
-  a PHP based project. Additionally ant does not support a autoconf tool that
-  writes out proper buildfiles based on some simple rules prior defined in a
-  XML Configuration file.
-
-  Phing is different. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based
-  commands, Phing is extended using PHP classes. Instead of writing shell
-  commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling a target tree where
-  various tasks get executed. Each task is run by an object that implements
-  a particular Task action.
-  
-  Of course, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent in
-  being able to construct a shell command such as
-    % `find . -name foo -exec rm {}`
-  but it gives you the ability to be cross-platform - to work anywhere and
-  everywhere. And if you really need to execute a shell command, Phing has an <exec>
-  task that allows different commands to be executed based on the operating
-  system it is executing on.
