I think what we want to minimize are dependencies. We don't mind 
bundling other people's code when it makes sense. See xmlrpc.inc and 
phptemplate engine for examples.

Is MDB2 engineered to let other projects use its schema parser/writer? 
If so, we would consider using it. If the schema stuff requires the rest 
of PEAR, then we would be unlikely to use it. Aslo, how close are you to 
offerring support for more RDBMS? Right now the only 2 that are 
supported are the ones we already have.
