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.
