The Windows site also hosts DLLs for PECL:
http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/ That should also be put in some
prominent location, because right now I don't think it's even linked from
anywhere. Instead the website has a notice that PECL for Windows is being
worked on (for how many years already?) and a link to
http://downloads.php.net/pierre/, which does have some PECL builds, but is
not as complete as downloads/pecl.
