PEAR discourage the use of GPL and afaik for API, we want use that
licence. And lex contacted the maintainer about license issues, and
seems he will help with this.

I don't say that we must fight with PEAR, just that using code with
PHP licence, is beyond our scope afaik.

Is harder but possible yet. This is the way that phpGW have been
doing, and shown that works. The only one requirement for re-merging
with original author's code is that someone have interest on that
piece of code.

But at the end, do we really need this for .16?

I think Philipp is doing the same job in an easier way, so I think he
could end before this :P. And with less code, so less things to test
(good for timing :).

Best Regards
