I'm after a completely virtual system where direct access to the server
is not needed as all interaction is via web interfaces. Your position is
valid in light of your goals but I'm after a system where there is only
a single core copy of library code that has the main benefit that all
maintenance and updates can be easily and instantly applied to all vhost
clients automatically. I have roughly achieved this with mod_perl but now
want to "port" the lot to PHP+MySQL because naive clients can more easily
update the cosmetics of their own sites with PHP than any sort of perl CGI.

I hope you will not be offended with my attempts to pull apart PHPLIB as
it is now and classify the components far more strictly. If that proves
too difficult I may resort to using something like Midgard.
