[Libreoffice] PostgreSQL-SDBC in LO? LGPL2.1-only

Hi,

I've started to take care of the PostgreSQL native (SDBC) driver for
LibreOffice, based on the "old" code at dba.openoffice.org. It is not
100% feature-complete, but "it works". Are there any oppositions to
merging it into master so that it is bundled with LO 3.5, as is the
MySQL driver?

 - The code is LGPLv2.1-only, not LGPL3

 - Currently developed as a "fork" of libreoffice-3-4 which adds
   directory connectivity/source/drivers/postgresql

 - The build system currently "just" creates a .oxt file; should
   probably be changed to take into account
   "--with-extension-integration"; would appreciate help/clue in how
   to do that / what needs to be done.


In the absence of opposition, I intend to forward-port and commit next
week, to give some time to shake out any potential problem before 5
December.

My current code is at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/PostgreSQL-SDBC
