  * IMPORTANT
  - if you are PHP5 user only:
  use the pciconf script to build your own extension support list
  - if you are PHP4 user only:
  pciconf script required at least PHP5 to run, so to build your own support list,
  do it by hand. All major extensions and their PCI dictionaries are available
  on PEAR CVS [http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/PHP_CompatInfo/CompatInfo/]
  - A more comprehensive guide will be available for final stable release, ready for
  PhD system and new PEAR Manual.

  * changes since beta2
  - pciconf script did not used anymore the monolithic versions.xml and funclist.txt
  data sources. Version information about extensions came from specific extension version.xml
  file that are installed into PEAR/data/PHP_CompatInfo/phpdocref

  * bugs fixed since beta2
  - CSV, HTML and XML renderers did not provided expected result
  due to new classes result-key entry
  - lost partial functions list information when parsing multiple data sources
  with debug mode

  * news since beta2
  - add function getSummary() to print only summary when parsing a directory
  or multiple data sources at once

  CREDITS
  Thanks to Jon Parise and Ken Guest, for their agreement to reuse code and idea
  from their packages. Idea about connecting a driver (see PEAR_Size) and
  how to build/check an instance of a custom renderer (see Log) if class
  is available loaded somewhere.

  * news
  API 1.8.0 since beta 2 was almost full rewrite following the MVC design pattern.
  This version, that DO NOT break Backward Compatibility, introduces at least two big
  features :
  1. Event-Driven capability (see PEAR::Event_Dispatcher),
  2. Customizable and extendable Renderers

  Do not forget to have a look on 3 news examples pci180_parse* that demonstrates
  the new API.

  Beta 2 include 3 renderers :
  - "Null" that consumes all output. Usefull for batch mode
  - "Array" the default. That dump results as a PHP array (like previous versions)
  but allow also to print improved array with help of PEAR::Var_Dump if available.
  - "Xml" that produces XML results with PEAR::XML_Util and improve its render
  with PEAR::XML_Beautifier if available.

  WARNING: if you use benefit of XML_Beautifier with the Xml renderer and see
  the XML prolog/declaration be removed, DO NOT add a new bug report
  it is the old Bug #5450 !

  Beta 3 that will come shortly will include 2 new more renderers :
  - Html, for web page content
  - Text, for command line interface (that will come back again live)

  * QA
  - Do no search Unit tests in this release, it is not yet ready, so I have removed
  them until beta3
