Thats pretty cool!  I think this would be *VERY* usefull tool.  Just as long as 
it can be keep open source (GPLed) without MS tring to shut it down and what 
not.

Ah cool.  Did anyone test the SSL parts of your librarys ?  I was playing 
around with it a few weeks ago, then got side tracked on other things.

Sounds good.  Your librarys have become very stable over the past few months.  
Have you thought about using CVS for your projects ?  This way, developers can 
keep up to date with your work.  It would also make it easier for multiable 
developers.

Thats good to hear.  One thing that would be nice, would be something to detect 
improper XML returns and handle them nicley.  If PHP throws an error, your 
librarys will crap out with Access Violations becuase it doesn't know how to 
handle unknown tags that are actually HTML.

At any rate, I am forwarding this message to the phpGroupWare developers 
mailling list, I think there are a few people who might find this intresting.
