Jaromir Dolecek 7323b07d4f Change how Pear packages work:
* rename php4/package.mk to php4/pear.mk - there are already extension
  modules for php4 and this is to avoid confusion
* make pear.mk generate PLIST on-fly, by parsing the Pear package.xml file
* pear.mk now includes all common stuff such as
  MASTER_SITE, USE_BUILDLINK2, CATEGORIES, PKGNAME
* in pear.mk, do the post-extract massaging in post-extract: target,
  rather than do-build; also validate the package contents using the Pear
  package-validate command; set NO_BUILD, since there is no do-build now
* change DESCR and COMMENT for pear packages, so that they would indicate
  the package is PHP stuff

This is intended to simplify Pear package handling, and centralize
the logic a bit.

Generic PHP classes for representation and manipulation of
dates, times and time zones without the need of timestamps,
which is a huge limitation for php programs. Includes time zone data,
time zone conversions and many date/time conversions.
It does not rely on 32-bit system date stamps, so
you can display calendars and compare dates that date
pre 1970 and post 2038. This package also provides a class
to convert date strings between Gregorian and Human calendar formats.
