1) The code is a little class that helps make it easy/easier to talk

   it also does some SOAP header stuff for authentication.

2) As far as licensing goes, I actually *want* people to be able to
   resell applications based on my code, so I'm not going to use the
   GPL.

   I also want to make it easy for people to use the code with PHP, so
   that's why I was looking to use the PHP license. However, using one
   of the BSD/Apache licenses isn't out of the question. I'll check
   them out.

This would be really useful. Please send me a copy.

Is the only thing I need to do to make a package usable with the PEAR
Package Manger is to include a suitable package.xml file? Can I use
pear to generate a package even if it's not part of PEAR?
