oci in pecl...

it was actually my idea to for the oci8 stuff - and have some new maintainer maintain it in pecl. i see no valid reason against it. he can start hacking on it (in pecl) starting today - once he is comfortable with it we'll nuke the ext/oci and use(link, package) the stuff from pecl. loosing all history for the 2 files is not a deal at all if you ask me, as not much has happened to teh code in the last many month. why do we manage to make a big deal out of everything? if we get a new maintainer, i'd like him to be able to roll independent from the main-tree. (also - don't forget - not too many ppls use oracle, and those who do would be more than happy to get new features/improvemnt from a new maintainer) thies
