Hi,
ok how about this.
The PEAR Installer for applications installs the pear packages that are
needed into a seperate directory.
This means that code is installed multiple times which means increased
hard drive use and wasted ram for byte code caches.
However on *nix platforms we can use symlinks instead. I don't know
however how byte code caches handle symlinks, but maybe they cache the
file only once (and if they don't this might be a nice new feature
unless I am missing something).
Regards,
Lukas
