RFC: cleaning up the schemas

Hi Folks,
There's an awful lot of duplication of effort in the mysql and pgsql
schemas (and, in fact, there are a few discrepancies in the values
inserted into the tables at the end).
To this end, I've created an utterly trivial script, that splits out
the actual mysql/pgsql schemas, along with a number of "value" files,
which will only have to be edited in one place.
The code can be found at http://tinderbox.lovett.com/patches/
sql.tar.gz -- it'll extract into a self-contained 'sql' directory --
simply run:
genschema mysql|pgsql
and pipe it into the appropriate mysql/pgsql code to create things.
Unless anyone sees any major issues with this, I'd like to go ahead
and commit it, along with all the relevant documentation changes,
prior to 3.0
