I just saw that allreleases2.xml (introduced with REST 1.3[1]) contains
the minimum version information, e.g.
http://pear.php.net/rest/r/console_getopt/allreleases2.xml

<r><m>5.4.0</m></r>

So there is no need to extend the REST schema, just adjust PEAR to take
it into account.

BUT pecl doesn't support[2] REST 1.2 nor REST 1.3, so that would have to
be done.
