I agree with you we need database manipulation in Phobos. However
modules like db, gui, xml or similar are too much work for a one
developer. And as you can see from time to time there apears
someone with its own vision.
That's why, long time ago, I suggested DIP73
(http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP73) so the collaborative work would be
controlled by the D community (or the D foundation). But I am
aware that there is no agreement nor resources for that.
Your engine project is interesting. I think there is common
ground in the interfaces in the two projects, particularly in
how the interface for the results might work. I will look more
closely at the details to see what might be workable.

I agree that we (as a community) should work on common and
effective APIs. Maybe when D foundation is big enough...
