Which is what I did, for instance, with Console_Getopt by taking the PHP 4 code, rewriting it for PHP 5 + E_STRICT, and bundling it as PHPUnit2/Util/Getopt.php for PHPUnit 3. But this was only a short-term solution and it does not give me the means to implement feature requests like colors and progress bars for the PHPUnit TextUI test runner, for example. We do have packages for progress bars and colors for console apps in PEAR. I am sure they are not E_STRICT compliant though.
ProgressBar, for example, is E_STRICT compliant. --Pierre
