The following packages have been added to the Cygwin distribution:
* php-Archive_Tar-1.3.12-1
* php-Console_Getopt-1.3.1-1
* php-PEAR-1.9.5-1
* php-Structures_graph-1.0.4-1
* php-XML_Util-1.2.1-1
PEAR is the PHP Extension and Application Repository. The PEAR
Installer contains executable files and PHP code that is used to
download and install PEAR code from pear.php.net, PECL extensions from
pecl.php.net, and PHP code from other repositories.
Both the pear and pecl commands will correctly install and manage
additional modules as they do on Linux. In order to do so, PEAR itself
has been patched, so be sure to never update it except through Cygwin Setup.
