Here's the thing. PHP scripts (i.e. PEAR) don't *have* to be under the document root. In fact it's probably better to not do that anyways. I have my own PEAR installation under C:\PHP\PEAR. Just make sure that the path to PEAR is in your php.ini (it needs to be added to your include_path) and all PEAR scripts should run fine.
If memory serves I just used the go-pear.bat and use all of the default choices. In fact I re-installed everything just now and it installed perfectly. In fact it will even change your include_path, if you want it to do this for you.
Another tip: after PEAR is install from the command prompt you can type
cd\PHP pear --help
