Well, as I said, I don't really understand what is going on in that file
and I added the minimum to make my stuff work. Thomas said he was going
to have a look at it, so I think I'll rely on him fixing it, before I
break anything else ;-). 

I've already noticed that I will need | as an operator for the SQL bit
types, so I may have to hack it a bit more. I just hate changing things
blindly I don't really understand. Thanks for pointing it out though!
