Comment:

 While a user-replaceable DB class is nice, it's a poor solution to this
 problem (being unable to use a plugin to do a simple str_replace() in a
 SQL query.)

 Any plugin that wants to filter a SQL query now has to have a complicated
 two-file (and two-directory) install.  It also means that only one plugin
 can be filtering SQL queries at a time, as there can only be one
 {{{db.php}}}

 Even with the caveat that pre-plugin queries couldn't be filtered, this is
 a useful addition.

 Updated patches uploaded for 2.0.x and trunk.  Is there a good reason that
 this shouldn't go in?
