[Haskell] ANNOUNCE HSQL-1.6 release

[Krasimir Angelov]

I am pleased to announce the HSQL library version 1.6. The HSQL is a
simple library, which provides interface to multiple databases. MySQL,
PostgreSQL, ODBC, SQLite and MSI (new) are currently supported.
 
 
What is new? 
~~~~~~~~~~
 
1. HSQL is fully Cabalized.

2. Windows users don't need to have cygwin in order to build HSQL. The
old build system was using ./configure script which is replaced with
hooks in ./Setup.lhs script.

3. HSQL is split into multiple Cabal packages. There is one common
package 'hsql' and multiple database specific packages: hsql-odbc,
hsql-postgresql, hsql-mysql, hsql-sqlite, hsql-sqlite3, hsql-msi

4. There are two new database frontends: SQLite3 and MSI. The SQLite3
frontend is for SQLite version 3.0 and above. The old SQLite frontend
still exists. MSI is fontend to Microsoft Installer database. Each
.msi package is a relational database which you can query and modify
using HSQL.
