    [Matthew]  Would it make sense for postgre to have a mysql
compatibility module?  An add on package (perhaps in contrib) that would add
many of the functions that mysql has that postgre does not.  I know this
couldn't cover everything, but it could probably make it much easier to port
an app written against mysql to postgre.  I have seen several posts on these
lists about someone attempting to port some app to postgre, and now knowing
how to find the postgre equivelant of some mysql function.
