Hi Ariel, (answering the easy questions first, sorry Michael, your questions are more time-consuming to answer)
> * do you have any idea if external drivers linking against connectivity > libs. will break in the 3-layer OOo? Joerg already pointed out that the PostgreSQL driver in fact is what was formerly called a "well-formed" component (didn't hear this term for quite a while - not sure it is stil. valid) - linked against URE only. For C++ components which link against non-OOo libraries, the problem is not in the 3 layer office, but in the unstable API of those libraries: Only URE libraries are guaranteed to have a stable API/ABI, no matter which version you use. (Of course if you use functionality from a newer URE lib than you can't use an older version of it.) Non-URE libs don't have this ABI compatibility promise, so any components linked against such a lib is highly likely to break sooner or later.
