   Phing is a PHP based build tool. In theory it is kind of like "make"

   Why another build tool when there is already make, gnumake, nmake, jam, ant,
   and others? Because all those tools have limitations that the binarycloud
   development team could not live with when developing software across
   different platforms. Make-like tools are inherently shell-based: they
   evaluate a set of dependencies, then execute commands not unlike what you
   would issue on a shell.

   This means that you can easily extend these tools by using or writing any

   Of course, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent in
   being able to construct a shell command such as
