David:

Working like a charm here.  Of course, no good deed goes unpunished - I 
just realized that this same issue affects 
vtkSQLDatabase::CreateFromUrl() (static factory method for creating 
database instances) and vtkSQLDatabase::GetQueryInstance() (non-static 
factory method for creating database query objects from a database 
instance).

I see where I could modify the hard-coded list in the wrapper-generator 
code, or I could just wait for the hinting mechanism to show-up ... any 
thoughts on how soon that might happen?

Cheers,
Tim
