Nice. Some comments:
- It doesn't check if you already have php 5.4 installed
- It doesn't believe you may not want to install it:
5.4 was alpha at time of writing. Absolutely no-one would have it, and I didn't want to bother with version parsing. The whole point of the tool was to use php's built-in dev server and setup a quick environment that works standalone with no dependencies on anything outside (well, besides built tools). Course I guess I'll now need tweaks to check if the native php is 5.4 (for the rare person who already has it installed).

- The 'latest' download url for php I was using now only gives out old
RC versions instead of the latest php5.4. Not sure how to fix that easily. (I wonder if I should fix these issues by switching the tool to python)
It's getting a php 5.5 snapshot. Perhaps not so bad.
