Thank you Michael for such a pithy answer, it's a good news about InnoDB :o) Unfortunately I'm not such a good programmer for changing the sources, so I'll leave this for a trained peoples ;o).
I'm plan to go in production with OpenCA 0.9.2.2 in very short time and now interested is it will be a big deal to upgrade after some time to next generation branch, like 0.9.3.
