[MacRuby-devel] Support for the DataObjects drivers with the C api

Hello all,

I recently read that Macruby is also adding support for the C api that MRI provides. Since I maintain the DataObjects (do_*) drivers, I'd also like to support Macruby next to the existing support for MRI 1.8 / 1.9 (with full encoding support), JRuby and Rubinius. 

I'd like some help with the following things:

- What is the easiest way to set up a development environment so I can also contribute back fixes / new function etc. to the C api?
- I've already tried to get some initial stuff up and running with do_postgres but I've hit the following issue:

https://gist.github.com/db89903e772d2f112ed2

Especially the conflicting type definition for Size seems problematic. Any idea how I could solve this? I've heard from Matt Aimonetti that the sqlite3 and postgres drivers already work, so if anything has been learned there I'd love to know about it. 

I subscribed to the mailing list, but also join #ruby-osx on freenode and am available in #datamapper there too. If someone could help me out a bit or point me in the right direction that would be a great help :).
