It would be great if the license matched Redland - currently LGPL/MPL;
soon to be LGPL/Apache 2 otherwise patches cannot be applied to the main
libraries, and it cannot be shipped with redland-bindings.

I haven't got any good answers to that at this time.   Best run as a
separate packaging effort with any patches folded back?  At least for
now.
