A thanks to Olivier for re-doing the package build system to accommodate for
PECL/PEAR's installation system and for just showing interest in working on
this extension.

I guess I'm going to need a PECL/PEAR account or something to that effect. I
already have a CVS account with karma and such, but I guess I need a PEAR
account as well, correct? 

Should I fill out the forms on pecl.php.net for an account request, or do I
need to bother since I already have a CVS account? I've been kind of out of
the loop for quite a while now, but now that I have a lot of free time
(read: former employer disintegrated) I'm ready to make some contributions
to the PHP community again...

Cheers,

J
