This monster of a patch is the result of Alex Gaynor's 2009 Google Summer of Code project.
Congratulations to Alex for a job well done.
Big thanks also go to:
* Justin Bronn for keeping GIS in line with the changes,
* Karen Tracey and Jani Tiainen for their help testing Oracle support
* Brett Hoerner, Jon Loyens, and Craig Kimmerer for their feedback.
* Malcolm Treddinick for his guidance during the GSoC submission process.
* Simon Willison for driving the original design process
* Cal Henderson for complaining about ponies he wanted.
... and everyone else too numerous to mention that helped to bring this feature into fruition.

This is backwards-compatible but will likely break third-party database backends. Specific API changes are:
* BaseDatabaseWrapper.__init__() now takes a settings_dict instead of a settings module. It's called settings_dict to disambiguate, and for easy grepability. This should be a dictionary containing DATABASE_NAME, etc.
* BaseDatabaseWrapper has a settings_dict attribute instead of an options attribute. BaseDatabaseWrapper.options is now BaseDatabaseWrapper['DATABASE_OPTIONS']
* BaseDatabaseWrapper._cursor() no longer takes a settings argument.
* BaseDatabaseClient.__init__() now takes a connection argument (a DatabaseWrapper instance) instead of no arguments.

environment doesn't support os.listdir(), we crashed whilst trying to construct
the friendly error message. This was not so friendly.
This patch handles that case (which occurs in real life in Google App Engine).
Patch from Guido van Rossum.

transaction (after another exception in the code), make sure the original
exception is reported, rather than the rollback-generated one. The latter is
almost certainly a consequence of the former. Patch from Karen Tracey.

Though some attempts and backwards-compatibility were made, speed trumped compatibility. Thus, as usual, check BackwardsIncompatibleChanges for the complete list of backwards-incompatible changes.
Thanks to Jeremy Dunck and Keith Busell for the bulk of the work; some ideas from Brian Herring's previous work (refs #4561) were incorporated.
Documentation is, sigh, still forthcoming.
Fixes#6814 and #3951 (with the new dispatch_uid argument to connect).
