Hey Justin,

I guess most people have been a little too busy over the christmas
break.

The quickest way is to fill out the pecl account form on pecl.php.net.

It sounds like the license will be no problem, and I don't see why
we shouldn't include your extension in pecl.

--Wez.

PS: Posting directly to pecl-dev@lists.php.net makes it easier for
me to respond to your messages since I'm stuck with stupid OE which
borks on postings via NNTP :-)
