Sure, I know that you don't like hooks.
I just suggested that we should compare *interfaces* to configure replication
(i.e. variable names, grammar, etc), since it looks like we have a bunch of
different syntaxes to achieve the same.
It might turn out that there is no common ground, but it is worth trying it.

It is somewhat difficult to share a test-suite if we have to maintain multiple
versions of the code that sets up the replicated db.
See the point? ;)

We do maintain a patch, as you do, unless you have forked from mainline for
good. Using a good revision control system helps (we use Cannonical's Bazaar,
BTW), but does not fundamentally change the problem.
The smaller the diff, the better.
