This is the first public release of fully reentrant C
scanners for the PHP language and the INI system. They
can be used to replace the Flex-based implementations
commonly found in the Zend Engine.
Features:
- Flexible I/O model; lays groundwork for fully supporting
modern web-servers such as Apache 2.0;
- uses portable C only; significantly improves portability by
removing dependence on GNU extensions of C++;
- fully thread-safe without loss of speed.
The software is currently available in the form of three
source files and a patch to the Zend Engine.

To install, cd into the ngscan directory and run
"make ZEND=../php4/Zend install", followed by a buildconf.
Because software already exists to eliminate the scan/parse
process, speed was not a main concern. The new language
scanner is faster than the old one in all tested scenarios
though.
