Announcing MagickWand for PHP alpha testing (version 0.0.7)

MagickWand for PHP is a complete port of the new MagickWand API to PHP.

It preserves the vast majority of the MagickWand C API's functions (excluding any X-server related
stuff, progress monitoring, and any functions needing/returning Image * structures), while
supporting PHP's file restrictions (safe mode, openbasedir, etc).

Here's the link to the MagickWand for PHP download:

It will only successfully compile against ImageMagick v6.1.1-2 Stable or greater, so keep that in
mind.

The calling conventions and the general "way everything works" follows the MagickWand C API very
closely (intentionally), except that you don't have to know array, or string lengths, and a few
other things that the ChangeLog covers.

The included ChangeLog is a MUST read (as is the INSTALL file), and will soon develop into a
C-to-PHP porting guide.

Let me know what you all think (and if it compiles -- lol).

Things still to be done:
- Writing a suitably showy test script.
- Windows support
- Enabling GraphicsMagick support... have to wait until the GraphicsMagick MagickWand API catches
up to the ImageMagick original.
- Testing, lots of testing.
- Writing PHP-centric documentation.
- Improving source documentation.
- Verifying function prototypes in source.
- Finishing PHP5 class-based interface (very cool -- stay tuned)
