this issue has annoyed me enough that i'm going to follow it up and find
out. i'll try asking on one of the squid lists.

Mysql was bought by Sun, actually, not Oracle.
Oracle bought the InnoDB engine. prompting mysql to work on their
Falcon transactional db engine....which i don't really expect to see
in production use for at least two years.
(don't see the point in either, myself....if you need a free real
db, use postgres. if a toy db is good enough, then use mysql's
myisam...using anything but myisam in mysql completely destroys mysql's
only real advantage - raw speed for simple read-only or read-mostly
apps, i.e. mostly SELECT queries with few or no INSERTs or UPDATEs)

Miquel van Smoorenburg adopted the package a few months after i uploaded
it - he needed more timely updates than i did...and did a much better
job of tracking the new versions :)
