I pinged the author a message on GitHub, we'll see if we can pull it in (he needs
to add a GPLv2 license header to the code).

The code's not bad. Just needs some formatting changes. He actually did a pretty
good job of using the internal APIs, so not a huge amount of work.

Once it's in, you just use it like any other SQL driver. I have a feeling though,
we'll need to fix C++ compilation for the entire server before everything works
as expected, as everything will need to be compiled as C++.

I looked at this a few years ago, but never found any really good references on
linking to C++ libraries from C, or how it works. C++ has a runtime, C doesn't.

Alan says you may just be able to use a C++ compiler to build the C code *shrug*.
