[PEAR-DEV] Re: Proposal: A need for simple development helping tools/scripts
Hi Jesus,
This sounds like a good idea to me. I'd like to see my quick and dirty

create_package.xml.php relies upon phpDocumentor's Io class, so perhaps
the nice features of Io could be incorporated into one of the File_*
packages
