Rather then discontinuing these modules, I'm trying to hand them over
to somebody else who has sufficient time and actually uses the
modules. That way the modules will hopefully be better maintained. See
one of the other emails in this thread for details.

For a small number of users (everything below a 1000 users, probably?)
there's really no need for using SQL instead of tdbsam.

Please contact whomever will be taking over pdb_mysql if you have
additional docs; if you think there is a bug in the pdb_mysql module, file a 
bug on http://bugzilla.samba.org/.

No worries, as long as we understand each other :-)
