Actually, I was thinking along similar lines; but in a more practical sense.
I'm not totally familiar with PHP, but do know it provides almost the same
functionality that CF does.
I betcha it is possible, and in fact could be a huge moneymaker, for
somebody to create a parsing engine that reads in CF code and converts it to
the PHP equivalent. Sort of like the STOMP tool on secretagents.com...
Now mind you, I realize it just ain't gonna happen that you load in a CF app
and get out a PHP app. However, it is possible that say, 90% of the code
conversion is done, and you just have to debug out the remaining 10%. That
alone would be well worth the price of admission, I say.
This tool could benefit us in many ways; for one, it would give all of us an
alternative to CF-only Fusebox, and for two, it would send a signal to the
new owners of CF that we're not blindfolded hostages...
