Re: [PHP-GTK] PHP-GTK Standalone Kit

So every single program is going to install its own PHP, and GTK? 11MB for every PHP-GTK 
application, when the code itself weights probably 3KB. Granted there are advantages to self 
contained systems (like updates not breaking a program) but there are just as many disadvantages 
(like updating every single program one by one, and 11MB download per 'script'). I know hard drives 
are measured in gigabytes and sometimes terrabytes... but meh. Australians will cry about their use 
of bandwidth, and dialup users will cry about spending an hour, all for a simple app.

 From a Linux users perspective not being shared is an annoying thing, though Elizabeth I know 
prefers this relocatabopityboo trickery. Does this also do anything about registering file 
extensions with Windows so that phpw/phpg can be double clicked? Probably not that would be more the 
job for a shared library installer I guess.

I am not a all negative person, I could see this being useful for selling apps to real clients for 
installation. Do all the licenses involved (including any code you wrote for this) allow for that?

I would probably suggest fixing spelling errors and general English structure (punctuation, 
capitalization) on the page, too.
