Comment:

 There is a +pear variant of the php5 port, but I don't know what happens
 when you use it. I had thought I should split it out into its own port
 (e.g. php5-pear) but even then I don't know what to do with it. Basically,
 pear lets you install things into the MacPorts hierarchy, and that is
 something we don't like software other than MacPorts itself doing, so I
 don't know how we should be handling pear in MacPorts. Possibly we should
 be creating individual ports for each module available in pear (like we do
 for each perl module available in cpan -- php5-console_table is the first
 such port that has been submitted, in #27320), but that is a lot of work.
 I don't use pear, so figuring this out has not been a priority for me.
