I think the Zend framework is going to implement a form library. Right now  
it's in the planning stage. Info about it is on their wiki[1].
Not sure about EZ library. Quickforms looks really powerful in that it  
does everything from generating to validating to displaying, all  
extendable. I haven't used it before though, this is just from a first  
glance at their website.
I think it would be at least a start. If we want to use something else  
later, we can, but either way, it will be easier to adapt something that's  
already there instead of doing it all ourselves (which we tried, and it's  
not much fun).
