I have just compared the pear and phplib template classes. The
differences amount to:

pear has "fallback" directories where it searches for templates.
pear has reverted to str_replace instead of preg_replace.
phplib has clear_var and unset_var.
pear has a couple of extra bugs and missing features.

So, for me the phplib class is the clear winner.

Although reverting to str_replace might be worthwhile for the phplib
class as it results in cleaner code and a 25% speed increase. I wonder
if it would break any existing applications due to the differences in
the way data is stored in varkeys[].
