What's the feeling on including the lower level stuff as well? I.e.,
postgresql, mysql, oracle, etc.... drivers. That could get pretty

Do you have a reference for this? I'll include it in the

I've been trying to get the gdtclft guys to unbundle it from graphviz,
which has licensing problems (well, not problems, but it's not free

Is this similar to what Wojciech talked about?

Hrmm... can you be more detailed here?
