Yes, I've seen this.  As I mentioned in the original post:

The commit message by "barry" (Barry Lind?) does not elaborate
on the reasons why these classes were removed:

  | Also note that this checkin removes the PostgresqlDataSource and
  | files in the xa directory.  A recent checkin has added new
  | datasource support that replaces the functionality provided by

Do you know why this code was removed?  (That is, aside from the fact that it
couldn't possibly work.)
