I'm all for re-use from other projects as much as possible, but in the 
case of ORM I wonder if we're better of developing our own.

The TCA is such a critical part of the TYPO3 core and provides plenty of 
metadata for us.  It seems like going with some 3rd-party ORM will force 
us to either duplicate the TCA data or rewrite much of the existing ORM.

Very nice!  If we put this in between tcaObjects for the model and 
cObjects for the view, we might have a nice little demo about the types 
of things we want to do with MVC.
