CodeIgniter bundled as a Phar package?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello,

Has anybody attempted to bundle a CI application into a Phar archive package? I'm trying to see if packaging our CI app this way is feasible for easy distribution of updates, patches etc. I realize there's a couple of limitations and workarounds that need to be put in place, but am curious to know if anybody tried to do it and what sorts of pitfalls I should take into consideration.

Thanks in advance!
