[wp-hackers] alternative database support

[Andrew Krespanis]

I put my hand up to add Oracle support when this discussion came up in March.
While I no longer need an Oracle port for work ('cause I'm resigning
tomorrow...*choke*), I am still keen to contribute; especially if the
goal is to use ADODB(.sourceforge.net) to add alternative DB support.
Between ADODB's automagic conversion of many MySQLisms to other syntax
and it's availability as a C extension, I still think it's the way to
go.

I didn't start on porting wpdb back in March because I wanted to wait
for the 2.1 branch to stabalize. Well, here we are. Who else is in?
