    [Matthew]  I agree also, I didn't mean to imply that a core
developer work on it.  I was just asking if this was a project that would
interest people.  If it has enough demand I would get started on it.  I
don't know a whole lot about mysql, but getting a function list and
comparing it to postgre shouldn't be too hard.
