Re: ext/huffman

If you wrote the code yourself and are willing to use a PHP-friendly license (PHP license preferred) and think that others can really make use of the extension, there shouldn't be a problem with it going into PECL. If you already have a PEAR account, then you needn't do anything else special, since the same database is used for both things. --Wez.
