And the conclusion of this is:
You don't know what api you have if you do "require Foo.php".
I guess we'll bundle the PEAR packages we rely on with out tarballs, as many
other developers already do with their applications. And they probably have
a good reason for this. Let's drop the whole PEAR installer and let people
download the packages manually from pear.php.net, this seems to be the only
solutions that will actually work. Sad but true.
