I think [a] is the best choice as well, perhaps with a brief note at 
php.net?

This is my fault and is no April Fool's joke.

The problem was that RunTest.php was sitting in my local checkout but 
was not properly cvs added, so my install tests worked just fine.  This 
has been corrected.

To avoid this for the future, I'm brainstorming ideas for a script that 
can be used to sync with released PEAR packages so that pear can be 
removed from php-src altogether in CVS, and simply synced as part of a 
cron job for the snaps machines.

Any advice or admonitions would be appreciated.

Pierre: can we work on this in tandem?
