Comment:

 I think we should link the mysql extension check to the existance of the
 custom db.php. Right now the mysql extension has to be present, even if
 the custom db.php uses an entirely different engine.

 Mysqli support could than be achieved by a custom db.php 'plugin'.

 Patch for this attached.
