Support PHP Desktop on Linux / Ubuntu.

Porting tips were described in this topic:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/phpdesktop/y76-TlXQXxQ/discussion

Porting to Linux should be easier now using CEF views. Maybe this can be accomplished without even touching GTK.

Great, cheers for this. I was thinking about two weeks, and I'll have the Linux bounty met. If there's anything I can do between now and then to help, just let me know. Thanks.

Main code needs to be written first. I will be developing and testing mainly on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. If you could test other OSes like e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 that would be helpful.

Great, In regards to testing with different OS's, thats something I can definitely do. I do DevOps bits, so I've started looking at creating a pipeline that can run tests automatically after a commit/tag, getting them to run on multiple OS's should be reasonably simple. I'll hopefully have something useful in about a week. I'll also create a VM dev environment for it too.
