I ported it to PHP, and started breaking up the code into objects and sub-routines. http://pastebin.org/54979

- override runTests() with the command you want to run
- override doDelay() to check more/less often
- pass the path to files in the contstructor

Invoke like this:
C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/php E:\dev\path\phpautotest.php E:\dev\path\to\monitor

I’d like to see everyone do more testing, regardless of whatever language they happen to be stuck using.
