Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay, but real life took too much time lately. I'm
slowly retracing my steps in order to pick up those loose ends I've
left behind. I've noticed that ocilib has not been ported to FreeBSD
yet. What are my odds to arrive at a working installation? I'd like to
give it a whirl.

Second, your instructions indicate that you've "hijacked" the existing
oracle driver in that "--with-oracle" selects your driver instead of the
existing one. I believe it would be more appropriate to call the
driver "ocilib" and use a "--with-ocilib" configure switch. What do
others think? Can we ever expect the (existing) oracle driver to be as
well-maintained as the other core drivers? Will a working ocilib
driver provide at least as much Oracle support as the existing driver
(and thus could replace it entirely)?

regards,
Markus
