* databases.inc is a new file that will serve as a database abstraction

  layer.  My new files already take advantage of the abstraction layer
  though no attempt is made to port the existing files: this is sheduled
  for a future v0.40 release (see http://beta.drop.org/docs/roadmap.php).
  Anyway, with the abstraction layer it should be theoretically possible
  to run drop on top of every database, even on top of a home-brewed
  file-based system.  *wink-to-UnConeD* ;-)
