Description: ------------ It is possible that a piece of software packaged using the PEAR installer might have a large amount of documentation packaged with it. Whilst this is useful for development, it is often at least useless and at worst a hindrance on a live server, where minimising disk space usage may be a serious concern. Therefore a "--skip-docs" or similar option to "pear install" would be really handy. For comparison, a similar thing exists in the RPM world (--excludedocs)
