I think my package is based on the one from the DBX suite. It has a few edits, some of which I'm confident should go in and others just for my needs which probably aren't fit to. Disappointly, I got the psyco test wrong and it is only taking 30m/s :( I guess this is the difference when something is implemented on top of C and libpq (I presume)

You need to create a subclass of DatabaseDriver. You can take a look to NativePostgresDriver and create a similar one for V3. I would also like to have Glorp + PostgresV3 running. Also...we should somehow use NativePostgresPoolingDriver and NativePostgresConnectionPool for V3... we need some refactor here... We should join forces!!
