Description:
------------
When installing pear using a web browsers under windows 2000 with the WAMPP2 apache install, i got an error message during the install.

paraphrased: Cannot fopen Archive/Tar.php Require failed php_include=/C:/some/directory...

The laeading slash in the inlude path is the problem. $ptmp must be fixed.

go-pear.php downloaded from go-pear.org today (Aug 5, 2004)

Reproduce code:
---------------
The following code will fix the $ptmp variable.

---------<cut>----------------
$ptmp=preg_replace("|^/|", "", $ptmp);
---------<cut>---------------

I inserted it at line 392, but it should probably go before line 390 just inside the "if (WINDOWS)" code block in the "Temp Stuff"-commented section.

The fix should be applied on win2k platforms (or all windows platforms) before the $ptmp variable is used.
