How badly do we want ORM?

Sure, PM me if you like.

Some things that might help:

1) If you put the Doctrine stuff in your libraries folder, include it in your scripts like this:
require_once(APPPATH . '/libraries/doctrine/lib/Doctrine.php');

2) I took the advice of the user manual and "compiled" it. That solved a lot of problems because then I didn't need to set the include path or use the spl_autoload_register(array('Doctrine', 'autoload')); function. To compile it, just include Doctrine.php like in step #1 above, put this in your script: Doctrine::compile();, and run the script - it takes some time. Now you can include the compiled version of Doctrine and all the common classes will be automatically included by using:
require_once(APPPATH . '/libraries/doctrine/lib/Doctrine.compiled.php');

3) Remember to include your database object classes. I put mine in a doctrine folder in the models folder so my includes looked like this: require_once(APPPATH . '/models/doctrine/MyClass.php');

A beta release is due Aug 31, so things may change soon.
