OK, thanks for the info. So what if we (after we unfreeze again), move
Kamailio's db_oracle into the shared module directory and get rid of
modules_s/oracle? The module would be usable with Kamailio modules but
not with SER modules. We can modify it to print an error message if
somebody tries to use it with SER modules.

Over time we can either update the module so that both versions of the
database API (if there is interest), or keep it that way.

I am sure that nobody is using the SER version of the module because
it does not work anymore after my changes of the database layer and I
think there is no need to keep it in the repository.
