Actually I stepped down from the PEAR Group a while back. But I am still 
quite active in the PEAR project.

I just subscribed.

Anyways I noticed that you have structured the code in a way that I 
personally consider one of my pet peeves. Here is how I have structured 
the directory layout for my framework:
http://oss.backendmedia.com/WebBuilder2/DirectoryTree

Notice that inside the public html dir there are only files which users 
are allowed to read and none of the includes or config files. This is a 
much safer layout that is much less likely to cause security issues due 
to minor config issues.
