I just realized mime_magic module is under php4/ext It should be pear/pecl/mime_magic since it's new module.

As PECL doesn't work for windows users yet, it's NOT a good idea to put modules there. Once it is ready, we can do that... but for now ext/ is just fine.

For existing modules, this make sense for _old_ modules. but not for _new_ modules. I'm for PECL, so just making sure new modules are supposed to be in /pear/PECL. PHP 4.3.0 is not relased yet, we should reduce number of bundled modules as planned, IMO. (It's not my bandwidth, so I'm not concerned much, though) BTW, placing session save handlers in PECL is does not make sense at all with current PHP core. It does not work as loadable module at all due to module dependency problem as you know :) -- Yasuo Ohgaki
