[Pas-dev] install stuff

[Mental <me...@ne...>]

Hello. I seem to have a little time to help out with some stuff. :)

I helped Doug get pas all set up. He got bit by file permissions. Apache
couldnt write to the psp-cache nor the session-cache. I added a note to
the quick start INSTALL file. Hopefully I wasn't overly verbose :)

That said, I'm writing a PostgreSQL backend piece. Looking over the
MySQL stuff, I'm going to be re-implementing a lot of stuff. I'm already
using postgres for imp and I'd rather not use mysql also. I'm a little
short on ram :)


Would it be better to have an abstract class(es) for what MySQL.pm is
doing today? Rather than calling it MySQL.pm, call it SQL.pm. Set what
db to use in the config file... 

I'm still thinking about stuff. It just seems like I'm going to be
duplicating a lot of code. I'd like to find a better way to leverage DBI
and abstract the database stuff a little more. 

In my mind, what would be ideal is a generic SQL class that could be
easily subclassed for whatever DBD driver you're using. 

I guess I just need to think about it more. I just have a nagging
feeling that I'm needlessly duplicating code. 

Feedback would be welcome as I'd like to cleanly support postgres, mysql
and others...
