I did not mean this for the general usage.

I'm working with HTML_QuickForm, HTML_Template_Sigma and HTML_Common.
The QuickForm Package comes with a bundle of classes, they are used also
internal. In my own code it's no problem to append an include path, but
if pear classes like to include other pear classes, I have to modify a
lot of classes.

Well I can also merge many packages into one extension, but that would
be a big one and makes no sense.

As I wrote, it's meant primary for library usage.
