How do you define "a smart way" ?
There are several ways, I don't know if they're smart though...
1 - walk the snippet path (probably the only way with PHP3)
call the function mgd_get_snippetdir_by_path("/path/to/the") then
call the function mgd_get_snippet_by_name("snippet")
this function returns a snippet object.
2 - test the return of the function mgd_snippet("/path/to/the/snippet")
(available in PHP4 only, not documented cause it's part of the preparser
mechanism)
This one only returns the code field of the snippet, so it can be a
little more efficient than the first one.
3 - we could implement a function
mgd_snippet_exists("/path/to/the/snippet") that would return a boolean
value (cheap and easy, can be implemented in both PHP3 and PHP4)
