Thanks for this opinion. I have no problem with playground/libs as current 
location for KexiDB.
In KDE3 we have been cooking koffice releases with keximdb plugin from 
kdenonbeta provided as a small additional tarball. Now KOffice/Kexi (alpha, 
beta) would depend on a lib from playground (so it's somewhat opposite 
direction)...
