I personally could help update it if anyone felt the need to update it - I had a look around the code a couple of weeks ago and noticed how far it has lagged behind the rest. If there is demand I'll step forward... just a case of asking if anyone really wants it given the depth of support for MySQL and Postgres - both of which are cross-platform.
