I agree - it may even be the best place. It's very low-level code, it must
be part of and integrated in the connector - and upper levels should use
it.
Most of the performance comes from the lower level, the protocol and the
connector implementation is going to be critical - and having control over
the low-level representation is very important.
The only problem is that right now ( with 3.3 so close ) we may have to
keep them in sync. But we can try ( if Larry is ok with that ) to change
the build scripts and use a single copy - in jtc.
