[Gd-hackers] Gwydion Dylan on MacOS X

[Dustin Voss]

Good! When I ported the SQL library over to Gwydion Dylan, I had to  
pull finalization out and use explicit close methods.

If one wanted to reintroduce finalization in that library, one could  
search for "finaliz" in trunk/libs/database/sql-odbc/sql-odbc,  
uncomment the finalization-related code, and delete the close- 
statement and close-database functions.
