It looks as if it is not a big deal to use the MySQL protocol rather than 
the client library. I can now log in that way, so the rest should follow, 
and I am working on the changeover. The current MySQL protocol has been 
around since version 4.1.

Given that Piotr has, I think, already done the same work at protocol 
level for Postgres, that SQLite is public domain, and that a similar API 
can be done with ODBC, we should be able to cover a fair range of systems 
without falling foul of GPL.
