Add X-Ray integration #32

Engine integration should come through a small php extension bridge instead:

Reasons:

hijacking the composer auto loader and passing things through a stream wrapper is not sustainable enough.
using __halt_compiler as suggested in #11 was a brilliant hack but it's a PITA for the end users.
an engine extension can provide syntax check at preprocessor time effortlessly, even for global macros - aka not localized in the file being linted.

Is an extension the only viable solution at this point? I ask because unlike packages there is no proper package manager for extensions. If I'm wrong, please tell me, such a manager would solve a lot of issues for me
