This is the first "version" of carob library.

Some features are still missing but the greater part of the work has been done:
- Connections, with transparent failover
- Prepared, Parameter and classic Statements
- ResultSet, including ResultSetMetaData
- and read/write of all basic SQL types plus BigDecimals, Date/Time/TimeStamps,
ByteArrays.

Still missing:
- Support for Blobs, Clobs and JavaSerializable types
- Database MetaData
- SQL warnings
- All the stuff you need which is not in there :) just ask...

...and please do not hesitate to send feedback, questions, whishes... to carob@lists.forge.continuent.org
