Hi,

I've just returned home finally, and look forward to taking a look at
issues.  I even committed 2 new code coverage tests while on the road,
in case you doubt my resolve to fix things up.

Tony, please drop the posturing, it makes you look somewhat ridiculous
:).  I *explicitly* asked that the question of enabling phar by default
be voted on prior to rc 1 when I enabled it, and again reminded about it
a month later.  Please see the links below to the emails in question.

Let's not forget - disabling ext/phar by default involves changing a 1
to a 0 in config.m4, it's hardly difficult to do.  I agree that it needs
to happen prior to the final release cycle or not at all.  Is alpha2 the
new rc1?  That makes no sense to me if so.

Thanks,
Greg
