Yes, I was suggesting that we merge the SWIG and PHP docs. I realize 
that this merge of the docs may be a bit premature, but since I was the 
one who brought up the documentation issue in the first place I couldn't 
really just sit back and keep PHP as a separate beast after advocating 
against having 4 or 6 separate sets of docs.

Anyway, either way is good for me, as long as we have a mechanism for 
developers to maintain SWIG docs. :)  I'm willing to work with you (and 
the rest of the group) if you want to merge PHP docs with the SWIG docs 
now, but in order to facilitate things we may be better concentrating 
only on the SWIG stuff for now as you suggest, and merging with PHP only 
down the road once the SWIG stuff is in good shape.
