I kind a figured it was mainly for QT. Unfortunate they and others sort of 
lock in what databases to use. I can see their point but don't really agree 
with it. I just didn't want to have multiple DB's on the machine.

If mysql had something like postgis I wouldn't whine so much. Which is my 
interest in postgresql.

What sort of stuff does QT use mysql for?

Yes, I see rekall has been gpl'ed and have used pgaccess and a couple of 
others I forget.

What new ones?

"Trying"? My contribution was much closer to a "feeble wave in the general 
direction of something that might lead you one step closer to a solution 
if you squint really hard and do all of the work."
