I'm sorry I'm not able to get you clear messages.  The main developer
right now is [email protected].  I can also get you the "HEAD"
version of usql.  There are different top-level source directories,
now, which is integrated with the s/w product that usql was designed
to support (WebCheckout).  These directories are:

 usql
 usql-mysql
 usql-oracle
 usql-postgresql

As for the Debian package, I couldn't orphan it cleanly because of a
"fails to build when installed" (FTBWI :) problem, which the patches
seem to have fixed.  I'm in process of uploading a Debian 1.2.1-2
version which is properly orphaned and also incidentally closes all
the Debian RC bugs.

Erm, I hate to bring this up at this late date, but, again, you might
want a copy of the HEAD version, which is ASDF-only.

My apologies on behalf of myself at least for slackness...
