I did not anticipate that a single package could or would supply more than one extension possibility If a package depends on pdo_dblib, does it matter which actual extension is enabled, or is the only difference system-dependent? In other words, from the perspective of a package that uses PDO, if you depend on the pdo_dblib package, is there a difference in depending on the mssql versus the dblib or sybase extension? If not, I will simply amend the xsd for package2.xml to allow multiple extensions to be provided, and update dependency checking to cycle through all extensions listed when checking for installation.
