New template engine - retry

Hi guys!

Some of you may remember an earlier post about a smarty-esque PHP
template engine that I made. We sortof got stuck on the name, cause I
didn't know any so had called it a horrible name ("Farty"). Thanks for
all your suggestions on that matter, though, but after some busy
months I ended up picking a different name, and doing some bug fixes
and improvements.

As such, ladies and gentlements, I present to you

"mplate, a PHP template engine that Doesn't Suck(tm)" (or at least,
that's what I hope)

on http://e.teeselink.nl/mplate

Now, naturally I'm convinced that there is a "market" for a thing like
this, otherwise I wouldn't have published it, but I'd really like to
know what you guys think. As such, if some of you have some time to
spare, would you mind checking out the site, the code too maybe, and
tell me what you think (here or as a comment on the site)?

Additionally, does anyone know how to go about marketing an open
source PHP library to the world? The only real interest I have in many
users is feedback and patches, and of course the fun of being involved
in a library that actually helps people; but I'm convinced that this
is an improvement over Smarty (and the other, newer, template engines
that I could find) in many ways and despite the age of Smarty it is
still very widely used. How do I convince others without becoming a
drag? How do I poke the people who care and not annoy those who don't
give a ***? :-)

Any feedback, comments, ideas is most appreciated, both negative and
positive!

Thanks,

Egbert Teeselink
