The PEAR version detection that we used to have doesn't work anymore with
the new PEAR framework. If I remember correctly this was already fixed in
CVS but PEAR 0.91 does definitely work.

--with-dom should be enough to use our new configuration system (but you
still need --with-xml for the help system). The conf.xml files won't replace
the conf.php files but the conf.php.dist files.
The configuration is now generated for those application from the admin pages.
