Note for PEAR Users

The PEAR installable version of PHPCS was missing some files, which have been re-included in this release. The result of these omissions were:

• The code report was not previously available for PEAR installs
• The Generic.Formatting.SpaceBeforeCast sniff was not previously available for PEAR installs
• The Generic.WhiteSpace.LanguageConstructSpacing sniff was not previously available for PEAR installs

Thanks to Juliette Reinders Folmer for the patch
