Just a quick progress report.

Since it was clear that my original ideas for a MySQL D interface were 
not going to make it into Phobos at least because of license issues, I 
have been investigating the use of the published MySQL client/server 
protocol (this was expressly removed from GPL, if it could ever have 
belonged there in the first place, some time ago.)

The results are encouraging, and I am pretty well back to the point I had 
reached using the C API, but now without files derived from GPL material, 
linking to a library, and mimicry of the C API methods.

In the course of going over the whole thing again, and with a knowledge 
now of how the MySQL client/server relationship works, I think I may have 
improved the interface, even in its present experimental form.
