Hi all,

while working on a project, other devs introduced me the PHAR format
for their plugins management system.

If you don't know what it is, check here: http://php.net/manual/en/book.phar.php

This extension might be useful in Habari for plugin management:

* Standardized file format.
* Ability to have a Manifest file (as in JARs) which can replace our
XML file easily. It can even be extended by plugin developer without
breaking the system.
* Easier Deploy/Undeploy: you can use enclosed files without
extracting them.
* Bootstrap file.

The main con is it need a specific PECL extension (but we're already
requiring specific ones).

What do you think of this?
