Re: dblink_ora - a first shot on Oracle ...

Joe, I can do the configure detection of the Oracle library needed for
/contrib. I don't think we follow the beta freeze as much for /contrib
stuff, but this particular /contrib is more integrated into the main
system than most. If you want to merge it in during the next month, I
can do the configure work for you.

If I am wrong about the /contrib deadlines, someone please let me know.
As I remember, we allow /contrib authors to change things up to the end
because it is no an integral part of the system.
