Comment (by aaroncampbell):

 [attachment:21663.2.diff] is a quick replacement of all mysql_* functions
 with their mysqli_* counterparts.  It only does this if mysqli_connect()
 exists and PHP >= 5.5.  There is a filter called `use_mysqli` to override.
 There are a couple issues still, and that is what to do with
 MYSQL_NEW_LINK and MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS.  We default new link to true, which
 is what mysqli does by default, but I'm not sure that MySQLi has an
 override.  I also didn't have time to dig into the various possible flags
 yet, but I wanted to get the patch up so people could play with it.
