Description:
------------
In python, if i have multiple program files: "a1.py, a2.py, __main__.py,  dir1/b1.py, dir1/b2.py" and then i zip it as myprogram1.pyz
then i can run it as "python myprogram.pyz" (__main__.py inside the zip file will be executed first). It is easy to distribute a single file myprogram1.pyz 

see: http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2012/05/21/python-zip-files/
===
in java also we can bundle all the .class files into a single .jar file and run it
 java -jar myprogram1.jar
========
Now, i request you to kind provide a feature in php-cli that if i have lots of files like: a1.php , a2.php, __main__.php dir1/a4.php  etc. (say, which uses PHP-GTK for a Desktop application). Then i should be able to bundle them as zip file, say myprog1.zip or myprog1.pz (pz =php's zipped executable archive).
And then i can distribute this "single file" and execute it as:

   php myprog1.pz

This will execute the __main__.php file among all the other .php files, inside this .zip archive myprog1.pz .

We have those already: PHAR files.
