The archive of the pgsql-hackers list contains some discussion of my work.
I can also send you the latest version - though it's absolutely not ready
for production use at this point. It's more of a prototype, to find out where
the problems of lie, and how to overcome them.

Work on this won't stop with the end of GSoC, and I'm not the only one
interested in making this happen - so there is a realistic chance that
something like this will show up in postgres sooner or later - not promises,
though..
