There is no problem if you change the settings (enable_query_strings TRUE, uri_protocol PATHINFO) with the uri helper

You can put the database configuration for different databases in the config/database.php file or you can create an array with the configuration and add it to the load->database method.
It's not because you can't get it to work it doesn't function. If it doesn't function it wouldn't be in the framework.

If you create a fork it would have more to offer then a few changes. You better release the libraries and let the developers decide if they are going to add it in their CI modification.
