Many of the component libraries and toolkits I'm familiar with lack CLI-specific libraries (zend, kohana, etc..). Are there any libraries/tools that are designed specifically for developing CLI application (such as an abstraction of php's multi-threading library, pcntl/posix)?

When you say CLI are you referring to Microsoft .NET? Common Language Infrstructure? Or Command Line Interface? – AaronLS Apr 15 '10 at 18:07

4@Aaron : in a PHP-related context, CLI means Command Line Interface. – Pascal MARTIN Apr 15 '10 at 18:08

ncurses is compatible with PHP, and is used to develop a wide number of CLI applications in many different languages.

I've used PEAR package Console_CommandLine and was very satisfied. I may not fulfill all you requirements though, but it's worth giving it a look.
It helps parsing the input (arguments, options, sub-commands, etc...) and build basic functionnalities (usage, version, ...).
