Hi Heiko,

I took your patches and had a look into the sources. Thanks for the 
corrections in the C++ and Java writer. The problem of invisibility of your 
PHP writer was based on the factory. You have to add your writer into this.
The attached patch should apply. If you get a message that a hunk in the C++  
and in the Java writer failed, you have the current CVS version. You may 
ignore these messages.

Regards

Jens
