This statement does not serve a purpose anymore.
In a long forgotten world it indicated the main version number of PHP which the code in the file was compatible to.

But since PHP 5.1 and later this is only marginally true.
Thus I propose to remove it from CakePHP.
Added some good practice rules from https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files to gitignore
Changed .gitignore to only ignore /app/Config/database.php instead of all files in /app/Config/ (helps to keep it in sync with its skel folder!)
Brought \app\ and \lib\Cake\Console\Templates\skel\ in sync
Fixed various @package annotations in \app\
Fixed various @package annotations in \lib\Cake\Console\Templates\skel\
Splice the ROOT path into the include_path for console apps.
This allows users to override the system include_path with a local
version of CakePHP.
Fixes#2613
