In the php-src repository, the test runner is named run-tests.php, but
when it is copied to the tests packs, it is renamed to run-test.php.
This renaming does not make sense, and is actually somewhat confusing.
Although changing the name back to run-tests.php constitutes a BC
break, we think the benefit of having a single name outweights the
disadvantages in the long run.
Currently mail related tests are split for *nix and Windows (if there
are even Windows versions). The basic difference is that the *nix
variants set the INI directive sendmail_path to just write the email to
disk, while the Windows tests use ext/imap. The latter tests are way
more verbose, and such duplicated tests are generally a pain point.
Furthermore, the Windows tests are much slower, and could not be run
without ext/imap being available.
We therefore introduce a small fakemail application, which basically
works like `tee <path> >/dev/null`, and which will be shipped with the
Windows tests packs. fakemail.exe would also need to be added to the
PHP binary SDK, so these tests could be run during developments.
To cater to the remaining differences, we also introduce support for
`{MAIL:<path>}` placeholders in the INI sections to run-tests.php. How
to use this can be seen in mail_basic.phpt, which is currently the only
modified test case, because these tests are yet supposed to fail on
Windows, due to the missing fakemail.exe in the PHP SDK.
- Initial refactorings of the README.md file with some more user
oriented information about the php-src repository and PHP in general.
- SVG logo added
- README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM file contents moved to README.md
- INSTALL file contents moved to README.md
- Windows releases now instead of install.txt file ship with the
README.md.
- A brief installation section added with help options mentioned for the
configure and make.
- Also mentioned the `-j` option for build and tests

The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
This fixes a general issue. In this ticket and not for the first time
is being seen, that people are trying to use data from "examples"
in the tests. When extracting a test pack only "tests" and its siblings
was taken into account. Now "examples" are copied as well.
