Aloha,

basically it would be nice to have some sort of define ("BOX_PHAR".. something like that), which explicitely allows to detect if a script is run from within a phar file.

right now I'm abusing the BOX_EXTRACT_PATTERN_DEFAULT one for that, and that feels like a cheat.

I'll see about adding something like this for the next version of Box.

Currently, the Phar::running() function should fit the bill if the phar extension is available.
