Fair enough. :-) I don't recall hearing anyone (except my own self) grumbling about the size of the image and bundling these types of extras can help get folks up & running more quickly at the expense of a slightly larger package size. ...and adding dbcp (and supporting doc) to the package may help signify the importance of pooling and more easily facilitate its use in some environments.
