It think since php is a non-gpl soft one can't simply integrate
fmt into php sourcecode. I'm also not an expert in these licensing issues
but to my view a "clean-room" implementation should be more appropriate.
I'm off for a few days. It would be nice if you continue the discussing and
perhaps even begin to code some lines to get it running...
