According to _The Ruby Way_, there are two DBC libraries available
for Ruby. One of them should be on <http://www.rubycentral.com>. I'm
not sure what the other one is ... perhaps Hal could enlighten us?

I looked at the PP DBC and didn't find DBC all that interesting
(plus I don't care for GPL-only libraries, sorry).
