You should be able to use some parts of the PEAR installer for this.

I'd like to do that. The only reason I didn't to begin with is the complete lack of documentation. I'd also, incidentally, like to use some of the Frontend features of PEAR for phpDocumentor, if I knew how it worked. :) A quick google search turned up no tutorials even by third parties. I'll do my best to learn it by reading the source code, but this will delay the release significantly, so be not worried.

but I didn't really feel this was a pre-requisite to package proposal. If enough people feel this feature should be in the first release, I will delay release until it is implemented.

I'm +1 if the above feature gets implemented before the first release.

I will take this +1 and do the work. :) Greg
