The whole world in a xar (or: Running the framework out of a ~)

This weekend, I've started extending .xar handling in the XP framework's core to support starting an application out of a xar.

Basically, this should have some benefits for applications: they need to only provide one file that can be invoked with a PHP interpreter out of the box. Think of how cool a one-file-GTK-application could be (even though this method could also be used from web applications).

The experiment's purpose was to show a) that this is possible and b) what would be needed to be changed in the framework.

The experiment can be seen at http://experiments.xp-framework.net/?people,kiesel,php,selfrunning.
