That's just it - I don't think any user-land libraries would

it's straightforward replication support. It's quite painful to
see PostgreSQL suffer purely for the sake of lack of marketting in
this department. :-(
The "straigtforward" replication support in MySQL is seriously
broken.
I am not arguing that it isn't! :-) I am merely trying to implement
something at least as good (or rather, no more broken) for
PostgreSQL with a minimum of effort.
In that case, use one of the existing solutions. They're all way
easier than re-inventing the wheel.
Existing solutions can't handle multiple masters. MySQL can do it at
least in a ring arrangement.
