Distributing Extensions

I have made and tested (originally againts 4.2.1 now against 4.3.0) a C extension to PHP that allows you to name variables in the ini file that are to be treated as super globals. This is very handy for dealnews as we have several variables (database object, directory paths, etc.) that are constantly getting "globaled" in functions. Yes, we could use constants, but that won't work for the database class and they are harder to work with in strings. To the point, I want to know how/where this should be distributed. I want to do it "right". I can write up some docs that tell you where to stick the code, run buildconf, etc., but I wondered if there was a preferred way of handling C extensions. Is PECL ready for this stuff? Thanks, Brian Moon dealnews.com
