OK.  Verified that we can create composer.json with his library:

https://github.com/claylo/conductor

On the command line, it works via:

# php package2composer.php

in the same directory as a package.xml file.  One caveat: this needs  
to be added manually to the composer.json file:

     "repositories": [
         {
             "type": "pear",
             "url": "http://pear.horde.org"
         }
     ],

(This can be done via a config file going forward).

This will install all dependencies for a package using Composer (using  
PEAR packages).

It seems that Pirum does automatically create compose repos when  
building the PEAR repo, so maybe we can take advantage of that in the  
future.
