Bug description:  Installation guidelines instruct you to use command that fails

Description:
------------
(PHP version actually 5.2.10 - not listed above for some reason)

1. Goto
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.users.commandline.channels.php

2. Goto section "Channel Discovery"

3. Find instruction >>> pear channel-discover http://pear.phpunit.de

This fails if you copy/paste it into prompt on Windows XP for v5.2.10 of
PHP.

Pear automatically prefixs location with http:// so command is interpreted
as "pear channel-discover http://http://pear.phpunit.de" and fails.

As an aside, I would say the pear command should probably handle complete
urls.  I don't have latest version of pear installed though, so I won't
open a new bug report for this in case it's already been fixed.
