There you can pretty well install into the web_dir. And if no web_dir is set at all we might want to ask the user in the installer where the files should go. You could also create a subdirectory "pear" in every virtual host that's symlinked to the web_dir. Having also automatic database installs etc. might be a really nice solution. However, I don't think we can get it work smoothly in every situation. But I believe the web_dir might have future. Hmm, since I seem to be the only one (+Greg) who feels like this, maybe let's stop that discussion. If not, please speak up! Stefan
