OK, I'll work on it.

Initial/primary argument here: under Windows, to load one extension that I 
would have had as an integral part of 5.0.*, I now need to install two 
extensions via php.ini, and it's not evident (without reading the manual - 
and why would you, to install a simple upgrade?) that there's been any 
change.

I realize this is not an issue for the cognescenti, but I think it might be 
a problem for people trying to figure stuff out - and I'd also submit the 
vague idea that a lot of the people trying to figure stuff out might be 
win32 users.

Secondary argument is as a result of your responses to my initial bleh:

You need to decide whether PECL is intended as a laboratory with stable 
releases that become part of the PHP distro, or an integral part of PHP at 
all developmental stages.
