Cilex, a simple Command Line Interface framework

Cilex is a simple command line application framework to develop simple tools based on Symfony2 components:

<?php
if (!$loader = include __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php') {
    die('You must set up the project dependencies.');
}

$app = new \Cilex\Application('Cilex');
$app->command(new \Cilex\Command\GreetCommand());
$app->command('foo', function ($input, $output) {
    $output->writeln('Example output');
});
$app->run();

Cilex works with PHP 5.5.9 or later and is heavily inspired by the Silex web micro-framework by Fabien Potencier.
