PECL is great, but it does require a build system with increasingly
obsolete set of tools (autoconf-2.13, etc.). Having Phar in the main
distro will open up a whole new way to distribute PHP applications which
would be a great advantage. The current system of distributing a bunch
of PHP files has some shortcomings.
