Description:
------------
Greetings,

The information about roles and install directories for package.xml 2.0
is currently confusing, hard to navigate and could use a bit more
documentation, at least for a first time developer who has started with
package.xml 2.0.

First off, there is no information about roles for package.xml 2.0. 
The information about roles is under the docs for version 1.0 with the
clear statement that 1.0 is now obsolete and the 1.0 documentation
shouldn't be referenced.  The only way I found the role information is
from a link under the file page
(http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.developers.package2.file.php).  

Secondly, it would be very helpful if the information about roles would
include a reference to the command 'pear config-show'.  The roles
section references PEAR_data_dir, PEAR_configuration_dir and
PEAR_documentation_dir but doesn't give any information about how to
find the values of said variables currently.

In short, it would make the roles section *much* more easy to read and
navigate if role information was integrated into the package.xml 2.0
chapter and if it cross referenced how to find the values of the
PEAR_*_dirs that it mentions.

I truely hope this was concise, clear and helpful.  Thank you for your
time.
