Can anyone provide firm evidence regarding whether guile-dbi is now
maintained or unmaintained?
If it is unmaintained, I guess we could consider merging it into the
core Guile distribution. Any thoughts on that?
Also, can anyone provide a summary of all the DB-related libraries for
Guile? I believe there's guile-pg, and guile-sqlite, but (i) there
could be others I've forgotten, and (ii) it would be great if someone
could summarize how they differ / overlap / compare with each other.

Cool, thanks. If it turns out to make sense to pull guile-dbi into
core Guile, I guess we'll review and incorporate these patches at that
time.

Neil
