Hiyall,

Still, some work needs to be done to make the transition to pecl
smoother, such as getting it in the packages list, perhaps the docs
should mention it is in pecl too, that kind of thing.

Ah, I missed that. 
So what is needed to get it on the pecl site in the packages list?

Ciao, Marc.

1) It needs to become registered as a package:
http://pecl.php.net/package-new.php

2) In order to be downloadable it needs a release:
http://pecl.php.net/release-upload.php

For all of these steps you need the necessary PECL Karma which you can 
apply to with this form:
http://pecl.php.net/account-request.php

Lukas
