Yes, i think the README/INSTALL Files should include the basic docs to get
started, but i felt the Readme was starting to turn into a full out guide on
authn_dbi. Keeping the Readme short and sweet on howto install and get a very
_basic_ setup is all that is needed. I think that it should tell people where
to find indepth documentation (on the website)

Once authn_dbi is stable, I plan to take it and port it to raw pgsql and
mysql. I had always intended to keep authn_mysql upgdated, but as i worked on
authn_dbi, it fell behind(and now it is horribly outdated)

Hmm. I am not sure how i want to go on with this. I like the Query system
better, but having the directives for each field is a nice way to get a simple
query setup. Maybe we should keep them in? I just marked them depreciated
because I would like to move to just having a query config, but i really
didn't think about it alot. Now that I am thinking about it, I am not sure
which way I want to go.

Once we are ready for the first release, and a basic "homepage" is done, I
will get the links changed.
