[dev] PEAR HTTP_WebDAV_Client module

If the author has really disappeared, then either you or someone else can take
over as the maintainer of the PEAR package, or we can fork a version into
framework/ in Horde and use that. Either way, you should email
pear-dev at lists.php.net first detailing your attempts to contact the maintainer
and the open bugs, and see if anyone shows up.
