Unfortunately, not at all.

IIRC, once there was functionality for windows snaps to build extensions
based upon branches in PHP_<major>_<minor> form, that's all.

My intention was just to grasp some bits about phpng and further release
a new major version of the extensions once PHP7 was released.

PECL development (the command) is practically non-existent, but I guess
some useful features could be realised with pickle, the composer for PHP
extensions.

I actually had some ideas for pickle, too; one of them would be that
pickle somehow manages to remember for which PHP version an extension
was installed, so it would re-install it when it detects that the
extension was previously built for another PHP version.
