There was some kludgy code for that somewhere on the pearweb CVS IIRC [1], so you can do something along those lines but better than what we did back then. At some point I think that even the Zend guys picked that up and kept it going for some time, reporting the latest releases from PEAR, but that is also history now (I think). Cheers.
