OK, I will try it out for sure.
There is one more reason to wait for 3.4, and that is automatic
inclusion of property files when compiling jars. In 3.3 you have to
specify and compile them separately.
With that in place we're close to easy compilation of JDBC. Then you
could compile all your JDBCs into libraries, lib<package_name>.so and
load them dynamically. That is where I really want to go.
