[PATCH] simplify pear-* ports

        These patches do the following things for PEAR ports:

        * devel-pear-PEAR-Makefile.common.patch
            - provides a do-install target and all that jazz in
              devel/pear-PEAR/Makefile.common
            - individual PEAR ports now just set a few variables:
        * pear-ports-Makefile.common-ng.patch
            contains changes for all pear-* ports including devel/pear-PEAR

        See http://smradoch.innuendo.cz/FreeBSD/ for complete description.

Note: still missing are:
        devel/pear-HTML_Common
        devel/pear-I18N
        net/pear-Net_NNTP
        security/pear-Auth

New port: PEAR Swiss-army knive for reading and writing XML files

        XML_Serializer serializes complex data structures like
        arrays or object as XML documents. This class helps you
        generating any XML document you require without the need
        for DOM.

        Furthermore this package can be used as a replacement to
        serialize() und unserialize() as it comes with a matching
        XML_Unserializer that is able to create PHP data strcutures
        (like arrays and objects) from XML documents, if type hints
        are available.
