The name "coherence" seems fine.

To build the package for distribution, create a "package.xml" file in
the top level directory of the package, e.g. php-5.3.2/ext/coherence.
Documentation on the format is at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/guide.developers.package2.php

Then run something like:

     cd ext/coherence
     export PATH=$HOME/php/bin:$PATH
     pecl package-validate package.xml
     pecl package package.xml

This will create a .tgz file that can be uploaded to PECL or installed
with "pecl install coherence-1.0.0.tgz"
