There is a working implementation in the integrator directory in CVS.
But there is still missing an official Plan or Featurelist for
integrator. (Derek, could you please :) )

The actual,inofficial implementation uses the db abstraction layer
provided by GNUe Common, which provides access to the most common
databases and f.e. DBase III (dbf) files. (CSV file access is being
worked on.) The official Integrator will probably use GNUe Common too.
