This problem seems way easier to me to fix than the MySQL-to-Postgres
port challenge.  Not that the latter is hard, but it's time
consuming, and you end up with (as I already mentioned) all sorts of
ugly hairs that relate to MySQL "features" that are really just there
to cover up missing pieces of implementation.  (Or rather,
used-to-be-missing.  MySQL has come a long way in the past couple
releases, no matter what anyone thinks of their marketing approach of
FUD FUD FUD.)
