      This is a followup of MDL-37625.

      When it was being tested this strict standards notice was shown:

      Strict Standards: Non-static method PEAR::loadExtension() should not
      		 
      be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in
      		 
      lib/pear/Auth/RADIUS.php on line 49

      And this was commented there:

      it seems that the class has not been changed as trunk continue showing that static behavior:

      http://svn.php.net/viewvc/pear/packages/Auth_RADIUS/trunk/RADIUS.php?revision=257341&view=markup

      So, or we fix that in the PEAR wrapper or we consider switching to another (pure or wrapper) lib. If this had to be voted, I'd say "pure" is better (less dependencies). Like, for example:

      http://www.phpclasses.org/package/4326-PHP-Authenticate-users-with-a-RADIUS-server.html

      Although I don't know much really. Adding Jonathan Harker here coz he did the initial (and current) implementation.
