[horde] PHP 4.2.2, Horde 2.1 and PEAR

[Oliver Schönrock]

Hi Vicky

I don't know much about Pear or the changes that have been made in recent
versions. What I can tell you is that I am successfully running Horde
2.1/IMP3.1/Turba1.1 on PHP 4.2.2 with the Pear 4.1.0 archive from
ftp.horde.org.

Pear seems to have changed the distribution mechanism to some kind of
package format which I don't understand because I haven't had the time to
figure this out. 

The reason I am running this configuration is that right now I am running
the horde framework on a virtual host. They are good about upgrading to the
latest version promptly, but they have never let me have even read access
to the pear include directory. So I downloaded Pear 4.1.0 from
ftp.horde.org a long time ago, put in one of my directories and put it in
the include path. Since then my hosting company upgraded to php
4.2.2.....absolutely no problem....horde just keept running...

Hope this helps

Would be nice to get the official answer from the head honchoes though....
