Apparently, this is moving nowhere :-(.

Davi, I'm sorry there has been no progress on this. We discussed this again in
MariaDB, and would like to get things working better for now.

What Monty suggested was that it would work for Sun if we submit specific
patches under a BSD-new license.

I realise that the http://tinyurl.com/q2ulgt patch request is now so old that
it may be of no interest to you any longer. But if you have a request for this
or other patches, please send them. All developers at Monty Program have the
ability to submit their work to Sun at their own discretion, so we should be
able to make this work on a low-overhead technician-to-technician level.

 - Kristian.
