Are you volunteering to take the driving seat? As you know, apr_dbd already supports dynamic loading of drivers. I'm not sure whether the model used there will generalise usefully to other apr_util modules, or whether we'd be better off starting from scratch. Principal goal: make everything that links external libraries dynamic. So that's things like expat, iconv, and the dbms, as well as DBD. Does anything in apr (not apr-util) want dynamic loading? Something in there is linking libcrypt: is that apr_random, and would that be better-placed in apr_util and dlloaded? -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
