Oracle support for PHP, perl and other apps

Hi, there's a thread on opensuse-buildservice about having support for
oracle on php, perl, and other apps like tora, plus adding a quick
solution for end users to build oracle-instantclient packages.

Although Opensuse can't provide a binary package for
oracle-instantclient because of legal issues (mostly involving
countries banned by the USA government and redistribution of the
client), we could still be able to build packages against it (like
php, tora, perl-DBD-Oracle) and distribute them (pretty much like the
Sun SDK is handled now on buildservice), plus adding a nosrc package
so the end users can fix the dependencies quickly.

Already sent a mail to oracle about the redistribution limitation, but
as there's no answer (yet), this is the only workaround.

Is there anyone interested?, if there's enough people needing this it
could be a reality, would you like to comment?

Regards,
Ciro
