I'm not looking to integrate these frameworks entirely into MediaWiki; I'm just talking about this one single file with one single class. (to be fair, it's 3 classes, but they're all in that one file).

Hi all,
Recently, I've been working with the Symfony web framework [1]. One of the classes they include is called the sfFinder class [2], which is a fluid, easy-to-use file finder class. It searches for files or directories in the filesystem, using a fluid PHP 5 interface. It has no dependancies, so it should work fine with MediaWiki. After finding numerous instances of opendir(), readdir(), closedir(), etc. in MediaWiki, I thought that it would be a good idea to use one centralized class to do all file searching. There is only 1 potential issue I see, though. It is MIT licensed, which is GPL compatible, so it should be okay to implement it, but I'm not too clear on this issue.
The usage is simple: sfFinder::type('file')->name('*.php')->in('/path/to/dir'); //list of PHP files in directory and all subdirectories sfFinder::type('file')->name('*.php')->in('/path/to/dir')->recurse(0); //list of PHP files in that directory only sfFinder::type('dir')->name('foo')->in('/path/to/dir'); //list of directories with the name "foo" There is documentation at [3], but it's for an old version. The code is very similar though, so most of it should apply to the current version.
What would people think of a change like this. I would like to see this happen, but I'd like some more opinions before I look into implementing it.
