I've just received email from a Debian user asking for packages supporting
PostgreSQL, or not depend on the fat MySQL packages, and this made me
remember our "module support" discussion.

In Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:37:57 +0300, <address@hidden>,
you said making 3.x more modular, to make it support support features only
if a .so file for that feature is available as a plugin, would be a goal,
albeit not a priority.

Has there been any progress on this front? It's been the #1 feature I've
been after for a long time now, when wearing my Debian hat.

Once this is done, I'd push for Mailutils to be in the standard Debian
install, replacing bsd-mailx.
