I am confused. DBI is now at CRAN and at 0.1.4.

Rdbi and Rdbi.PgSQL are still at 0.1.2 -- and it appears that Rdbi.PgSQL
does not want to play with DBI. Is that right?

Loading required package: Rdbi
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
        Could not load package Rdbi
	In addition: Warning message:
	There is no package called Rdbi' in: library(package, char = TRUE,
logical = TRUE, warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts,
Error in library(Rdbi.PgSQL) : .First.lib failed

Should I patch Rdbi.PgSQL to work load DBI instead?
