Hi Howard,

I currently use your kitchen sink with version 4.6 and oracle support. 
If you compile the new version can you also compile gdal/ogr with direct 
oracle support for the oracle package. In 4.6 I couldn't use Frank's vrt 
directly with the oracle client. I don't have the chance to compile 
myself so it would be very helpful  for me.

Thanks and regards,

Norbert
