Well, I'd welcome this... but can you imagine if PEAR get to any large size, the amount of packages being installed will be overwhelming. I don't think theres any harm in this command, I could do with it myself, as a web-host it's a PITA having to install 1 by 1 just cause a hostee might want one. Overall +1 - but you will need to add dependency checking and such rather than just installing them in alphabetical order, otherwise only half will be installed first time. You'd need to run it twice.
If I'm not mistaken you will need to run it n times in the worst case (where n is the number of avaible packages). While this will probably not happen in reality it's not a safe bet to run it twice. Matthias
