What functionality is it that you feel is lacking from sapi/embed?  I know
that C != C++, but C++ can certainly link against C libraries and using
sapi/embed is pretty well dirt-simple.  Or were you planning on dumbing it
down to the point where the C++ developer doesn't need to know what zval*
is, let alone how to interact with script code.

That depends very largely on whether or not you want it to be PHP4
compatable.  The structure is similar enough that PHP4 classes will work in
PHP5, but if you're willing to eschew PHP4 support, it'd be best to go with
a clean PHP5 design....

Wait.... are you planning on giving your PHP scripts direct access to your
C++ object instances?  Thats.... daring...
