Honestly I see this being a point beyond the task of PECL. There are too many things which can get fucked up (I just see a secenery where someone accidantly installs libxml2 through PECL though he has it in the system but in a non-standard path). Really, this does not belong to PECL by all means. - Markus -- GnuPG Key: http://guru.josefine.at/~mfischer/C2272BD0.asc Wishlist: http://guru.josefine.at/~mfischer/wishlist
