But PEAR is a repository for scripts written in PHP, right?
php4/ext/midgard
is a 'regular' (albeit admittedly large) PHP extension, written in C.

That would indeed be nice.

Well, since we're on the topic of re-seperating, are there examples on
how
to build config.m4s, and other supportive files, so an extension can
easily
be built as an php-dloabable, a static extension, and a static extension
