Why?  I have a replica of pear.horde.org which has H5 at beta level.   
So, if such replica is hosted on Internet as pear4.horde.org, and one  
uses that pear for installing H4, it should work.  Let normal  
pear.horde.org continue for those users who want to install/upgarde to  
H5.

I am technically not much knowledgable about pear.  But, I thought,  
such solution might work.  Sorry for giving such comments/inputs  
without understanding the other problems.
