I think you're overstating the case a little bit. I think my statement
that it isn't a silver bullet, but it is an important first step was a bit
more accurate. If the WP code had mysql_connect, pg_connect, and
sqlite_open scattered through out you'd never get there (at least not w/o
pain and suffering).

Jeremy in his own contrarian way does hit the *other* key piece of cross
db support, centralizing your SQL calls into a library. Which in the case
of WP is going to be significantly more work. In the mean time the code
will run under PHP5.
