Hi all,

Jason and I had an IRC-conversation and decided that configure was stupid.
Now.... Let me explain :)

What does configure _do_ ?

It does a series of automatic things based on assumptions we've made about
how projects should be built. If we had-code configure into the system it
will cause us problems.

What's the solution: make 'phing configure' a small wrapper for an XSLT task
which converts package.xml files (like the one attached, with extra info in
it) into build.xmls.

There are other things to consider: we need a way to automatically update
filelists, but I think that can be as simple as:

phing add FileName.php entity
Or
phing add FileName.php
... File added
... Edit package.xml to set the type and tasks.

Have a close look at the package xml attached, there are some important
additions to it which will allow me to write a configure XSLT.

Andi: we would very much like your opinion on this :)
