Description

Some users may believe that if they add variables to those that end up in metadata/setenv.txt, that they become available to Components packaged within a PEAR. As it turns out, they are available only if the Component explicitly looks in metadata/setenv.txt. But I understand they ARE available as properties. Perhaps some text explaining this could be added to the PEAR Packager documentation to help clarify.
