agreed...
But i have the feeling that noone really feels reponsible or at least 
changes to t3lib_db don't seem to take changes in dbal into account.

Thus we are raising a two-headed-monkey and the longer changes to class 
A are done without updating class B occur the greater the future 
problems will be.

Maybe it could help if ALL database calls would be done via the DBAL 
regardless of what DB system is used?
This would reduce the risk of two concurrent development trees.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike DBAL in general, but I think it is 
bad practice to ship an extension as part of the core that does not work 
(I'm not talking of bugs).

I could supply a testing environment to keep the development going, if 
needed.
