[_] HTML Tidy & PHP

[_],
is there a way of using the (HTML) tidy PHP extension in a shared
hosting environment? (i.e. no root permissions?). PHP is 4.3.9

I could ask my friendly hoster to install but that's a last resort...

According to http://www.coggeshall.org/oss/tidy/ I can use the PECL
version (http://pecl.php.net/package/tidy).

Will there be anyway I can install this although I haven't (obviously)
got root permission?

I know with Perl, for instance, I can create my own CPAN directories
without getting clobbered by permissions. Maybe there is a similiar
way around in PHP?

Any ideas? I

cheers
