Description:
------------
I came across an opensource module called Phalanger hosted from 
http://phalanger.codeplex.com/, which seems to be compiling PHP scripts to MSIL so 
that .NET framework applications can use the same. Precisely, PHP serves as one of 
the .NET framework languages. 

However, this seems to be maintained as a separate branch. I am wondering if this 
could be maintained by PHP Team and managed as a IL module (configurable from 
PHP.INI just like CGI, ISAPI modes. 

Test script:

Sorry, we do not have the resources to take this on.

Also, as per having, developing or using Modules (as in php extensions) 
implemented in .net, it is already possible. See 

https://github.com/pierrejoye/php_ajaxmin
https://github.com/pierrejoye/php_mschart

for examples.

However, as Rasmus said, having to maintain a totally different engine, windows 
specific with its lots of compatibility issues is not something that will happen 
any time soon.
