If you click on the "Download" tab for a PEAR package, it will give you a
changelog for the most recent version, which includes the PEAR
dependencies for that version of the package. For example,
http://pear.php.net/package/Payment_Process/download tells me that the
latest version of Payment_Process depends on Validate, XML_Parser, and
others.
