Hello,
In my opinion, one of the goals of PHP5 is to reduce the codebase size by moving most of the extensions to PECL.
We should start doing this sometime in the near future, if we want PHP5 released this year. Currently, there are few problems with the handling of PECL extensions in the PEAR installer, the biggest is the lack of solution for precompiled dlls for Windows and some more problems in pear installer under win32.
I propose to start moving extensions ASAP to PECL in order to get the right momentum for fixing the bugs in PEAR installer and finding a solution for the precompiled dlls. I really don't mind starting with fribidi, which I am maintaining :)
