Joe, I can do the configure detection of the Oracle library needed for
/contrib.  I don't think we follow the beta freeze as much for /contrib
stuff, but this particular /contrib is more integrated into the main
system than most.  If you want to merge it in during the next month, I
can do the configure work for you. 

If I am wrong about the /contrib deadlines, someone please let me know. 
As I remember, we allow /contrib authors to change things up to the end
because it is no an integral part of the system.
