PHP 5.3 Windows and PEAR (go-pear.phar)

Some users have reported that the windows builds of PHP 5.3 are not able to open the shipped go-pear.phar file. As a workaround, users can run the distributed phar with php -d phar.require_hash=0 go-pear.phar or download and use the http://pear.php.net/go-pear non-pharred version.
