    right, this is what I was trying to say.

    hmmm, one question, though: is installing package.xml actually
    necessary? AFAICT it's only needed during the install. isn't there
    another way to get that file into the package with make package?

    also, if they do need to be on the plist to be picked up, is
    ${PREFIX}/.PEAR.pkg the best place? wouldn't ${PEARDIR}/.pkg or
    ${PREFIX}/var/PEAR or something like that be better?
