Well, if all the extensions that are moved out are moved to a similar structure in the pear CVS module: php4/ext/hyperwave -> pear/ext/hyperwave, it should only be a matter of copying some files and running autoconf before configure. For this we'd need a shell script, C program or similar though. I'm in favor of a shell script, maybe with some C helpers if it turns out to be a problem finding lynx, wget or something similar on people's systems. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken <ssb@fast.no> Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway
