Ah, so something like:
$libdir = "zlib://mylib.tgz/";
require("${libdir}myfile.inc.php");
would work? Is it smart enough find mylib.tgz in the
include_path?

This is not something we plan to have in the core of PHP (too much
bloat, and not as fast as regular files), but starting in PHP 4.3.0, it
is possible to implement a virtual filesystem based on a tar archive
using PHP code itself by registering your own wrapper with the streams
subsystem.
However, the performance will not be so good on some platforms. (this
will be addressed in PHP 5).

>From a configuration management point of view, it would be
convenient to package up a library of files in a .tar file
(optionally compressed) to include in an application. Of
course, this can be done by untaring into a directory in
the include_path, but being able to skip that step is
preferred.
This would be a similar feature Java's ".jar" file
concept.
Thanks! Love PHP to death!
