The most important thing right now is probably to get the actual ming library accepted to the archive. I suggest we just leave the parts out that have licensing issues (currently java_ext and php_ext). They can easily be brought back at a later stage when things have been sorted out, the php wrapper perhaps living under php itself as Stuart mentioned. If there are no objections to this I'll reupload libming within a few days, hopefully being accepted by the ftpmasters.
