I see two problems with this specific extension. One is that
apache.org uses CLA, we do not allow CLA, even in PECL. Or is this
project does not follow this rule?

The 2nd one is that the implementation is rather not very nice.C++
usage for the sake of using C++, use c0x/c90 types instead of safely
detect types or using std headers (stdint, inttypes, etc.), could have
been done easily using php's stream (slightly slower but almost
irrelevant in this case).

Cheers,
