they shouldn't be broken. if you have run the install script for the framework,
those packages should now be in your pear directory. if your php scripts can't
even see the pear directory, then your whole pear should be "broken". check the
test.php script.

no. once you run the framework install script this directory will not be
actively used.

don't.

no.

it *is* usable.

of course.
