There are LOTS of modules in ext/ which do not belong in here (I won't name any, I want to live longer ;-) but such it certainly would irritiate (sp?) users missing some of the modules currently and it's always a problem restructuring existing infrastructure. As you have seen, new modules (if its not REALLY important and you can't life without it) aren't going to php4/ext but to pear/ (wherever it fits). > anyone interested in /ext/daniel/ printing out some greetings to my > friends? how about daniel_greet_his_friends(); and > daniel_send_email_to_his_friends(), etc?
