If this isn't working, file a bug report. The existing templates have not
been moved in the cvs, but it's been tested.
One thing I don't like. If your new whiz bang module adds a block type,
The _render.class file has to go in modules/block/blocktypes.

This is only for a cvs install. The releases will include phplib.

?? Can you go into more detail?
This is how I've been installing it -
The files in public_html get installed in the webroot.
Then create a structure like this:
home-phpslash-etc-config.ini.php - config.php has the full path to it.
