Gabriel, I'm really surprised at how good you are at stopping any serious discussion ! I really doubt Stéphane wanted to start another trollish topic on the list. In fact, he raised a very important point (IMHO). If one seriously considers investigating some time to contribute such a backend, the licensing issue will be the first stopper. It is amazing how people easily turn controversial questions into "trolls" ! Regards, -- Mehdi Dogguy مهدي الدڤي http://dogguy.org/ -- Caml-list mailing list.
