XMLReader in PHP 5.1

As briefly mentioned at the start of the long PHP 5.1 thread, I'd like
to include XMLReader in the standard PHP 5.1 distribution. XMLReader is
in my opinion far superior to the sax extension and should therefore be
included for more widespread use.

I'm not in the position to decide, if it should be enabled by default.
It doesn't have external dependencies (besides what we already have,
libxml2), but AFAIK we do not want to enable more extension by default.

I didn't hear any arguments against bundling it and it would be the
right time to do that now for testing purposes. I remember that we did
some special CVS tricks for tidy and soap for having them in pecl and
the php-src/, maybe we should do the same here. But I don't think, I
have the necessary karma to do that ;)

That's it, would be great, if someone could do that.

I think that's OK. Would you deal with having the docs merged into the PHP
Manual?
If no one objects then we can go ahead and do it.
Anyone know if this is done via the modules file or if it requires other
CVS magic?

This is usually done by symlinking in the repository; I can do this if you like.

Done (can be easily backed out if somone finds a good reason).

Yeah, unless someone objects that'd be great.

Thanks,
