Just for the record ... the base location is the same as for
squirrelmail and the other Red Hat web based items
(/usr/share/project_name).

Also ... upgrading pear modules via RPM correctly is a major problem.
Some of the modules that are included in the php-pear modules need to be
upgraded.  That is a major problem that requires some major thought and
planning.

Just removing the files and not replacing / obsoleting the php-pear
package will result in breakage at the next php upgrade.

I think the proper way to do this is going to be to redo a php-pear that
only has the pear module and no others (currently there are several
modules as part of the php-pear RPM) ... then having a separate RPM for
each pear module (similar to how perl modules are done now).

This is not as easy as just building a couple RPMS :)

Also, the solution needs to work for both php4 and php5 .. so for now,
installing the pear updates via the instructions provided by the horde
website is the best way.
