The point being that this is what the LGPL is for; since the GPL is
far more "viral" than LGPL. I'd suggest having a look at
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html for answers to any questions
you may have about the GPL. 

We looked into embedding a GPLed template-engine in one of our
projects and concluded that it would be impractical concering the
requirements of the GPL, since this would require us to publish our
project under the GPL too (at least the way we interpreted the
license).

Out of curiosity - why is this?

I assume it is because such an extension would somehow be required to be 
covered under the GPL as well, but I don't understand that. Shouldn't it 
be possible for the PHP extension's code to be licensed any license and 
simply use a GPL library? The extension's code would be copyrighted by 
the author, correct? So, why can't the author decide what terms his/her 
code is licensed under?

Just curious - I've heard this before and have never understood.

Hmm, I'm afraid that I have to mention you a PECL module that seems very 
similar to your module...

Check out this one:

libsmbclient is gpl'ed, correct?  We cannot accept extensions that are
written specifically against a single GPL'ed library.  Sorry.
