this is not true anymore.

Please see WikiUserNew.php. WikiUser.php is not supported anymore and
I'd love to delete it.
WikiUser->getPreferences() gets the pref object which should be attached
to the user object (and for legacy reasons to the request object also).
WikiUser->setPreferences() updates this object, but the legimitate use
is request->_setUser() only, because the request object, the session and
cookie have to be updated also.

pref->get(type) and pref->set(type,value) are self-documenting.
set only sets the object, not the storage.
since the storage methods are userobject specific (session, homepage or
database), you have to call pref->updatePrefs(prefs) and then
WikiUser->setPreferences().

we had our own pear since the quality of pear was not enough and a lot
of too old versions were around. esp. for DB.
now pear matured, and we use lib/pear optionally, if you don't have your
own pear in the include_path.
only pear/File_Passwd.php is better than the standard pear, we force
that. but there are still remaining problems with file locking (stale
locks) on updates.
