i would agree that PHP should be the preferred language unless we  
could spare a lot of work with using something existing and adapting  
it .. but even then the goal should be to eat as much of our own  
dogfood for this .. seems like there is nothing that would be so heavy  
(or long running) to make PHP totally unfit for this.
