Notes: - Have a separate section on where to get the source?
If you're talking on an extension basis, I think we should only link to http://pecl.php.net/extname from reference.xml, this page contains a list of all available releases of extname.
If not, please clarify your question for me :)

General Considerations:
-----------------------
PHP extensions may be installed in a variety of ways. PECL is a
repository of PHP extensions living within the PEAR structure, and the following demonstrates how to install these extensions.
The source of these extensions may be found at pecl.php.net or to retrieve from CVS use:
I'd write : "or retrived from CVS using:"
In case the preferred_state differs, like it's set to stable and the extension is still in beta, either set the preferred_state via "pear config-set" or simply specify a specific version of the extension. For example:
$ pear install extname-0.1.1
Here you're using the word "preferred_state", which you didn't introduce, it may be confusing for someone trying his first install.
What about this? <<<EOD
In case you want to install a different state of the extension, either set the preferred_state option via "pear config-set" or simply specify a specific version of extname. For example:
$ pear install extname-0.1.1
EOD;
Will we link to this page from reference/extname/reference.xml ? Also, can Windows users build an extension in their own ? We also need to have the Windows instructions if they do.
Nice work Philip !
