An RSS parser in PHP for SourceForge feeds

I wrote this for parsing RSS feeds associated with a SourceForge project. It should be reasonably capable for that purpose; though I do not expect it to be generally robust for handling arbitrary feeds. Reed suggested that this might be generally useful; however, I don’t want to put it anywhere that I might feel compelled to maintain it. So this seems like a good spot.
