I'm happy with both decoupling the PHP bindings from core and
publishing into PECL.

And I'm also ok with the code being on github (maybe under "libgeos"
organization), althought if I'd prefer the "official" source of GEOS
to be hosted by OSGeo infrastructure (not ready yet to do git).

Does "Pickle" need "GitHub" specifically or could it fetch code
from any git (or SVN) repository ?
