PEAR does focus on php4.3.  As there will be a cli (command line 
interface) built by default (even when you build apache).

Your best  bet here is to install PEAR on a remote machine (eg. your box 
at home) - if it's windows have a look at the weekly news for background 
on how to do that - on unix you can use the go-pear stuff.

then just ftp it up to the main server. - as long as you set your 'base 
directory for pear files' - if you cant set it in a php.ini use 
ini_set('include_patch','/home/me/pear'); in the index.php of midgard-lite,

It's an interesting situation.. - Athought I'm not sure how far PEAR can 
go to solve 'all' the issues involved.. - but if you can thing of some 
simple things that would assist in the process. = I guess the pear web 
stuff as a standalone app might help..
