NuCleuZ has a very quick new post for those working on a Windows platform with PHP - a resource called pecl4win.php.net.

A quick note for people on windows: pecl4win.php.net: a site for downloads of precompiled binaries of PECL extensions.

What is PECL? PECL is a repository for PHP Extensions, providing a directory of all known extensions and hosting facilities for downloading and development of PHP extensions.

The packaging and distribution system used by PECL is shared with its sister, PEAR.
