Oh my, that is embarrassing. I had a mix and match dev version of Tango
installed, and so neither mysql nor sqlite backends compiled with a recent,
clean Tango. I have fixed mysql for now, whereas there is more work in line
to get the sqlite backend working. The rest of the backends I'm not even
likely to test very soon (maybe pgsql), and should be considered
unsupported.
