It was never removed, Alexander Merz provides a pear command with an
install-all commande but it is *not* supported in the official version.

Auto-resolution of package dependencies is being investigated. It makes much
more sense then install-all. There are many packages in pear, install-all is
not a very sensible thing to do.
