CakePHP 2.0 - PHP files within plugin's webroot directory

I've tried in the past, and the best I can get is an output of the PHP code on the page (yikes!)

I assume this is because CakePHP is only designed to serve static assets from alternate webroots (since Apache doesn't know about them and can't display static assets from them).

Would it be possible to tell Cake to pass *.php files to the PHP executable so that it can display the output, or wouldn't that work anyway?

My plugin uses a Vendor directory containing a library which has its own webroot. I figured I'd just copy that webroot into the plugin's 'webroot' folder, but obviously that doesn't work--I had to copy the directory to my app's webroot directory, which sort of defeats the purpose of using a plugin to add the functionality.

Any other ways to serve a third-party library's PHP files from within a plugin somewhere under the webroot?

Thanks,

Ben
