Actually, I''ve been thinking that it would be nice to be able to
maintain the adapter as a plugin so that the core doesn''t have to be
modified every time I make a change.  I am 100% for this change.  In
fact, the OpenBase community already has several projects working off
this adapter as a plugin.  Are you looking to have these adapter
plugins housed in the main rails svn repos, or should adapter
maintainers find their own homes for these plugins?
