reusing ressources when running MDB in parallel with other DB API's

Hi, someone just explained to me the following issue: He wants to use MDB's features in some place but is not yet prepared to make the switch to MDB's API. He is also not yet ready to use one of the wrappers or there is no wrapper for the connection method he uses to access the RDBMS. Following solution: A factory class whos only purpose it is to reuse the connection ressources and DSN etc. Basically it would have a factory for each "connection method": Like Metabase, PEAR DB, PHPLIB, ADODB etc. All you would have to do is pass an object and it would grab the necessary data from that object (dsn, connection etc) and call the MDB factory and set the data. If you have used native method to connect then it should also be possible to reuse that connection. This might require some method in MDB's core which I will gladly add if someone writes a class that can do this. So any volunteers?
