Hey! Since when are you running php5 and mysql 4.1? And how come you 
didn't tell me that things already worked before I start to hunt for 
possible problems ;-)

Anyway, I think you are using your system wide Pear install since there 
doesn't seem to be any PEAR_PATH in use for the Spreadsheet.

That's perfectly okay with me. With instructions on where to download it 
and how to install it localy (by repeating the PEAR_PATH trick for 
people who cannot install it globaly) that wouldn't a problem.

Now, with php5 and mysql 4.1 working, (untested) updates for postgres 
and oracle in cvs, and logging of the install and update progress in 
cvs; How about bundling a new cvs "snapshot" and ask people to test 
things? I doubt a lot of people pull code from cvs to test..

Do you have ToDo list for the release? I'll see how much of my feature 
patches I can include (priorities in a table, (re)editable queries, 
bookmarks, and so on), but maybe you prefer help in some other area 
first? I see that the documentation is a bit behind, for instance.
