[isf-wifidog] MySQL support

[Proulx François]

The MySQL schema has not been updated since december. We've added so  
many new complex features that has become a headache to convert some  
of these... Last time I checked ( back in february ), I think we  
needed the very very latest version of MySQL 4 to support most  
datatypes we're using. For example we have some fields that default  
to NOW(), which is a SQL function. Mysql supports is only in the  
latest builds. Also,  we would need to add functions to the database  
abstraction layer to support BLOBS. I *hope* they work in a similar  
way... If I get some time this week I might try to create a new  
instance just to see how far we are from supporting it....

Stay tuned
