Yeah its a horrible chicken and egg situation we have with PDO. Too few =
people around, actually it seems too few to even review your patch when =
it comes to SQL server. Maybe Matteo has some time to take a peek. =
Especially in the beginning its very helpful to get some feedback on =
patches before getting direct commit access. Then again for PDO we might =
be at the stage where we might not even have the resources to do that :(
