Description:
------------
This won't work out of the box. Lets look at line 33
require_once 'Spreadsheet/Excel/reader.php';

There isn't an "excel reader" in pear... yet. There is a proposal at http://www.pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=304

That matches up to the function calls needed by this library.

Test script:
---------------
Get pear and try to use this library! It won't work with out the proposed package.

Should have read further this behavior is explained on the page. But still. Its terrible. There shouldn't be references to packages that are not part of pear. It should be a self contained library with out external dependencies. If this needs the library and the library will not be accepted into pear, then this by default should not be included in pear.
