A kernel-compiling *PHP* script? The horror, the horror...
(yes, it may work perfectly well, but IMNSHO the right place for PHP is the bottom of the Marianas Trench... or on the Web, if absolutely necessary, a place sometimes hard to distinguish from the bottom of the Marianas Trench.)

Why inject language advocacy here? Looking to go wildly off topic?

I was just momentarily terrified by the thought of using PHP to drive a build system. It's not quite as bad as using DBase IV (something I saw long, long ago), but it's getting there.

Don't worry, it's just using a PHP script as if it were a shell script:

There was a time when people would be horrified to see JavaScript anywhere outside the browser. Now, with Node, it's becoming a fairly capable systems programming language.
I fully share your disdain for PHP but I think there's still a (slim) chance that a well written PHP script might pleasantly surprise me. And, happily, it's usually easy to rewrite a working script into a different language.

A lot of people are STILL horrified to see JS outside the browser. Hmm. A lot of people are horrified by it even INSIDE the browser.
