There are no legal issues to worry about.  Exoffice (now known as
Intalio's
exolab project) code was/is BSD-based licensed, which is completely
integrated to the driver.  So no worries there.

I feel confident in saying the following: (Disclaimer, I'm not a
CVS committer, just a code submitter.)

Transaction support in PostgreSQL will _never_ be discontinued. Ever.
If it ever does, many people will migrate away from from PostgreSQL.
If anything, transaction support will be expanded, so no worries here
either.

XA support is incomplete simply because PostgreSQL doesn't support
two-phase commits. How can one test it otherwise? TP monitors aren't
that useful with a database that only works in (as you say) 'local'
mode for transactions.

Yes.  I'm planning to work on rowsets once I get the pooling stuff
complete. It would be great if you wanted to help on that too. (And
anyone else, for that fact)

Note that I don't think the current Pooled API connections are complete
either.  The api is there, but the functionality behind the api is
not correct. (Example, if a SQL error occurs, ConnectionEventListeners
are not informed)
