I could eliminate this requirement, at the expense of a larger .phar
file (3.3MB instead of 640k).

Better (I discussed this with Andi, but haven't had time to do anything
fruitful yet) is to write a short PHP script that would download it.
Just now, it occurs to me that by changing the wget call in
Makefile.frag from:

wget http://pear.php.net/install-pear.phar -nd -P $(srcdir);

to:

@$(top_builddir)/sapi/cli/php -dallow_url_fopen=1 -r "$a =
file_get_contents('http://pear.php.net/install-pear.phar');file_put_contents($_SERVER['argv'][1]
. '/install-pear.phar',$a);" $(srcdir)

this might be our cross-platform ticket.  Could one of you kind folks
try this, and commit if it works?

Thanks,
Greg
