Description:
------------
PEAR installation fails due to wrong g-pear.phar file. For more details see: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=9534

"When I try to install PEAR in PHP 5.2.0 (which by the way has been release on Nov 2nd, and is no RC anymore IMHO) using the go-pear.bat executable I get the results in the actual results section."

Resolution from cellog in PEAR bug tracker:
"Thank you for your report, this bug was caused by a fault  in the release process for PHP.

To install PEAR, download http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
and replace the go-pear.phar in your PEAR directory that came bundled with PHP 5.2.0."

Expected result:
----------------
Normal installtion of PEAR.

Actual result:
--------------
C:\Program Files\php\php-5.2.0>go-pear
