   There are several options for downloading PECL extensions, such as:
   
     http://pecl.php.net
     
     Listed here is information like the ChangeLog, release information, 
     requirements, revisions, etc.  Although not every PECL extension has a
     webpage, most do.
     
     pear download extname
     
     The pear command may also be used 
     to download source files.  Specific revisions may also be specified.
     
     CVS
     
     All PECL files reside in CVS.  A web-based view may
     be seen at http://cvs.php.net/pecl/.  
     To download straight from CVS, consider the following 
     where phpfi is the password for user 
     cvsread:
     
      $ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login 
$ cvs -d:pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co pecl/extname  |   
    
     Windows downloads
     
     Windows users may find compiled PECL binaries by downloading the
     Collection of PECL modules from the 
     PHP Downloads page, and by
     retrieving a PECL Snapshot.  To
     compile PHP under Windows, read the 
     Win32 Build README.
