this sounds good.  i'm having trouble getting into alioth right now, but
if the problem goes away in the next 24 hours i'll commit it.  otherwise
someone else should as i'll be disconnected from the next for the next
week or two.

i think they should rely on the default settings if the default settings
will work (but there are cases where it won't).

i don't know if we settled on a naming scheme for php libraries that
aren't pear modules.  my impression is that they will be the same as
those packaged from pear.  this is how perl libraries work, anyway.

have we seen an example of this happening?  it's a good point in theory
but i don't know that it's ever happened.

i'm kind of indifferent on this.  maybe we can make this one more thing
to ask the php maintainers.

apt-cache show php4 | grep Maintainer

i've occassionally spoken with adam, though not in any official or
productive sense.  once we're done i'll be happy to hand it to him
and others for review.
