Using PECL as a shared extension is currently the best plan for OCI8 because
of the release schedules/statuses of the PHP branches and of OCI8.  Using PECL
will let you easily update OCI8 to the latest versions as they are released.

For example, the OCI8 2.0 extension (which is in 'developer' preview on PECL)
is not likely to be merged back to the PHP 5.4 code bundles, even though it
works with PHP 5.x.
