Ok, i understand your critics. To enable DBAL support i would have to 
rewrite the adapter to proxy all mysql_*-calls over the 
TYPO3-DB-instance - do i get that right?

My plan is not to encourage developers to bypass the TYPO3 DB API. 
Rather i would like to provide a proper adapter, that bridges between ZF 
DB API and that of TYPO3. This should provide devs the ability to use 
the M in MVC with ZF-DbTables.

On the other hand i don't disable the support - devs are free to use 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB'] and Zfext_Plugin::getInstance() which returns the 
instance of the current tslib_pibase-class.

Cheers,
Christian
