If the powers that be are listening, please, please leave PEAR inside
the PHP distribution. It is easy to say to a system administrator you
need php4 installed - they've heard of that. But tell them you need PEAR
as well and they'll be questions and you have to explain it and justify
it (or just get told no if it is a company that has policies and
approved software lists).
