Composer could install PHPUnit

[clockworkgeek]

Since Magento 2 now comes with tests (a very good thing indeed) it requires PHPUnit. This can be specified in composer.json.

{
    "require-dev": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "3.7.*"
    }
}

@clockworkgeek , we are considering using Composer in Magento 2. Please watch the repository for the updates in Magento 2 code.

Bump. A lot of the packages in /lib are available as Composer packages. It is as simple as listing them in composer.json. Ideally the Composer autoloader should be used, but it is also possible to simply set a custom Composer-installation directory so it's compatible with the current directory-structure (i.e /lib instead of /vendor) and the proprietary Magento 2 autoloader.

Including but probably not limited to:

• Less: https://packagist.org/packages/oyejorge/less.php
• JsMin: https://packagist.org/packages/werkint/jsmin
• Most PEAR packages: https://packagist.org/packages/pear/
• Symfony's YAML Compnent: https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/yaml
• phpseclib: https://packagist.org/packages/phpseclib/phpseclib
• Zend: https://packagist.org/packages/zendframework/zendframework1

Since last time we started using Composer for Magento 2 and you may now see PHPUnit specified in composer.json files. We are closing this ticket now.
