For security reasons, we should be signing our packages.  This is  
easily done via 'pear sign [packagefile]'.

Granted, there isn't any easy utility to *verify* the signature (at  
least in PEAR itself).  But wouldn't hurt to be doing this going  
forward.

FYI: The signature is based on the package.xml file.  So verifying is done by:
gpg --verify package.sig package.xml
