Subject: PHP <-> libical bindings (alpha)
From: glamm@a-s-i.com (Bob Glamm)

(I'm sending this to the internals list partly in the hope that
an experienced Zend/extension developer will take a quick
look over my code and point out any obvious mistakes I've
made ;)

This is a prelimiary release of a PHP interface to libical.
Libical is a C library that can read/modify/write iCalendar
(RFC 2445) strings/files as generated by groupware software
from Microsoft, Novell, and Apple.

The release page is at http://www.a-s-i.com/~glamm/ical/

My build platform is php-4.3.2 on Linux, but it should build 
ok with other UNIX platforms as well (possibly with some hand
tweaking of the Makefiles).  This is ALPHA-level software,
not meant for production environments, but as a bug/feature
testing and implementation evaluation.  My recommendation
is that you create a separate php-4.3.2 build for this
extension if you intend to play with it.

Please send all bug reports, complaints, comments, requests
for assistance building the extension to me so I can
continue to improve and update this software.  My intention
is to contribute this to the PHP developers once the software
has stabilized and have it integrated into future PHP 4.x/5.x
releases.
