+ MYSQL DATABASE DETAILS
+ ======================
+ 
+ A MySQL 4.1 module has been added and will be supported by Matthew
+ Kent. Although it implements the same schema as the postgres module 
+ there are many differences in how it's written. Most of the differences
+ are not improvements but making up for some features which MySQL lacks 
+ (like stored procedures) that make writting C for it more difficult. 
+ 
+ The module also includes some simple caching to take advantage of bulk
+ inserts and updates. Queries are collected in memory and fed to the
+ database after an adjustable interval.
+ 
+ The schema, like the postgres module, is simple but requires InnoDB 
+ support.
+ 
+ The gui itself now supports both databases, so it's just a matter
+ of picking the right one in the configuration file. They *should* 
+ function identically but differences may show up as more of the 
+ interface is built out.
