I know for a fact that OAI support will be built in to Zebra in an
upcoming version (within a few months I think) as they've received
some sponsorship for building this feature. As it will be in a very
large institution (with tens of millions of bibs) it will also be
quite stable, so would probably be a good choice for OAI support in
Koha. Having OAI support in the 2.2 branch could also be interesting,
but will also be quite proc intensive and slow (I'm guessing).

Also, I suppose I say I'm assuming you mean OAI as a service, not
talking about building a harvest engine to import records into
Koha via OAI, right?
