Hmmm...  I've been *very* tempted to check out this library,
but have been too busy with a project that is already using
libpq++  (not that it is excessively long, but still, changing
everything scares me, mainly because I'm already overflowed
with the tasks that were due yesterday!  :-( )

One always wonders...  Is it more the time that I'm going to
spend learning/understanding this new library and translating
all the code to it?  Or will I end up hating myself and wishing
I had decided to go with this new library when I keep hitting
walls here and there?  (the reluctance to switch is even higher
when you are in the middle of urgent "repairs" to an already
functional system...)

BTW, I didn't find any links to the documentation from the
link you gave me...  I recall you mentioning some docs that
were available.  Could you send me a pointer to it?

Thanks!

Carlos
