Bash completion for the PEAR Installer

I always wanted to have the PEAR commands get auto completed on my bash. Here
is how it works:

::

    
    complete -W "`pear 2>&1 | awk '{ORS=" "} /[a-zA-Z-]+  / {print $1}'`" -f pear

Simply run the command in your shell and/or add it to e.g. your .bashrc. You
will have autocompletion for all PEAR Installer commands and for filenames in

Usually I'd have expected to get the stuff working using complete's "-C"
option, this did not work for me, I got a list of all possible commands when
typing <tab><tab>, but neither a correct completion suggestion nor a
completion.

  gleich mal für das Tool nachgebaut, das ich noch häufiger verwende:
  apt-get

  Also einfach das hier in die ~/.bashrc und apt-get TAB komplettiert complete
