A script to compile PHPUnit-3.5.15 with all dependencies into archive which can be extracted to CakePHP 2.0 Vendor directory in order to UnitTest cake (if you don't have access to PEAR commands or PEAR insists on installing PHPUnit-3.6.0 and not working).

#!/bin/sh

Hi Marko. Thank you for this script, it saved me some struggling with PEAR on an old setup. Unfortunately it was missing the PHP_TokenStream dependency. I cloned your gist, modified the script, and testing seems to be fully functional now in my CakePHP 2.0.1 app. Unfortunately I do not know how to send you a Pull Request on this modification (I am new to Git and GitHub), in case you are interested in my change.

Thanks, I've added it.
