At this point we are still trying to find out where "init.php" is, which
will in turn set PATH_t3lib. So we cannot rely on any "API" to be
called. We have to hardcode the process in this script using "pure" PHP
methods..

There is no need to use that in other contexts, that's the main reason
for the "cli_dispatch.phpsh" script: This should be used to call ANY
other CLI script. Before that script, every other CLI script would have
to do that by themselves.

See above. If you have access to t3lib_div, you don't need that method
anymore. :)
