	No idea who was working on that.

	IIRC it is a matter of either encouraging someone to re-compile the
extension, -or- just installing the legacy stlport DLL on the system
[ IIRC ].

	IIRC someone was working on a new connector using the (compatible)
MariaDB connector library that has a sensible license that we can
distribute built-in [ which would be ideal ].

	Not sure of the progress of any of that though, if you're interested -
it's worth keeping note of whomever was doing the work so you can poll
them later - can you dig all of that out of the archives and follow up ?

	Thanks,
