Description:
------------
A problem with installation of Auth package on old PHP (4.3.1). (Newer PHP versions haven't this problem.):

PEAR installer fails because of the file named .tmpusers (it has zero length - is this file really needed?).
When I unzip the archive, add some characters to this file, delete appropriate md5 attribute in package XML and zip all this back - installation goes fine.

Sure, really PEAR installer fails but can this file (it seems to be redundant) be simply deleted?
