[web-devel] persistent and mysql

[Michael Snoyman]

Let me clarify three things:

1) I started on a MySQL backend a while ago, and didn't do much work on it.
2) Someone else (I won't point fingers, he can stand up himself if he
chooses) is working on a MySQL backend.
3) Adding arbitrary backends is very easy, *except* for migration
support. So it's within the realm of reason to create a HDBC-generic
backend, sans migration support.

In fact, the PostgreSQL backend is basically an HDBC backend already;
if this is a feature people will actually use, let's do it.
