Right now the only way to get it running is to comment a line in 
t3lib_install, reload the backend und uncomment this line again.
(once temp_fieldInfo.php exists, the problem does not occur again.
The point is that we had some customers wanting to use the extension, 
installed it and broke their sites.

So they were not really happy.

I just want to remove extensions from the core that break your site.
If it is some sort of third party extension it is somewhat "distanced" 
from the "official" TYPO3 Core.

So there are two options:
Either fix those conceptional bugs, write a workaround or remove the 
extension from the core.

I don't tell the core devs how to do their job, I just think that it 
harms TYPO3 if bugs labeled blocker or crash are not fixed prior to a 
new release (even more if patches exist).

If I can be of any help with this, I will help.
So if we keep DBAL in the core we need a core dev (a.k.a. someone who 
can approve patches) who uses DBAL and checks the scenario of a fresh 
install, configure DBAL and then try out if everything works.
