First of all, the idea is great, it is a needed tool, like Drupal has its drush (drupal shell), so WP need cli to.
I installed it via git, and when I try to run wp commands (even wp help) I get the following error:

PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /root/git/wp-cli/src/php/wp-cli/wp-cli.php on line 23
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /root/git/wp-cli/src/php/wp-cli/wp-cli.php on line 23
