It seems to be okay, but I have found a few typo's that might be fixed in
CVS.

What's killing me today is that sapdbapi doesn't represent times/dates as
class objects, like I got with gvibDA.. I have a lot of XSLT code that uses
xml_pickle objects.. and a pickled timestamp from gvib doesn't look anything
like that from SAP.

In fact, SAP timestamps are 20 character strings.. really ugly.
