    I tend to agree with Jens here. The plist is not so huge once you
    purge all the junk: ~ half of the contents of the package.xml is
    compiled Smarty templates, helper scripts with authors' $HOME paths
    hardcoded etc., however...

    I tried to create a phpDocumentor port myself, but retracted it as
    it wasn't worth the trouble. The code is a pile of nonsense that
    barely manages to work, and that only in limited set of
    circumstances.
