[dev] PECL mirror anyone?

[Kevin M. Myer]

Does anyone happen to have a local PECL mirror?  I was trying to grab a copy of
the memcache PECL code, but pecl.php.net has gone from slooowly displaying DB
errors, to not being reachable on port 80 at all.

What prompted this is I decided to test the memcache session handler code,
thinking it might provide an alternative for high availablity to SQL, but
without the concurrency problems.  So I switched over to that and promptly got
white screens, which was directly related to the fact that I didn't have the
memcache extension for PHP installed :)  How difficult is it to put
prerequisite detection in the GUI setup, in the sense that if you don't have
something installed, its not an available option?  Would that mean starting
from a base conf.xml, running through some test code, and removing options
which wouldn't be relevant, based on the results of the tests?
