Agree (to some extent). But still making a mysql version would be a good
start in creating a more universal DB-based version. It's only five to ten
DB-accessing functions, and if these have been tested using mysql, they'll
be easily translated to any other system.
(I need a working solution fast, so I'll start with mysql, but can still
improve that once it's debugged and tested.)

Cheers,
