Hello Andreas,

I've ported across all the MySQL stuff which I could find in the code.

I'm not in a position to do much testing - it's not clear to me how it's
all supposed to work (for example, while there's code to handle user
registration I can't find it being called from anywhere!). However, I
have it running insofar as I can under Apache on my laptop.

What should I do now? Should I push my changes back to the Github
repository (it's all on a separate branch)? - or shall I just send you a
tarball?

Thanks,

Ray.
