In [5519] I have committed the Oracle branch changes into trunk. I've
tested all five previously supported backends, plus the new Oracle code
and all the tests pass for all of them (except for the expected MySQL
backend failures when not using InnoDB).

So, congratulations to the Boulder Sprinters, Matt, Ian, et al, for all
their hard work over the past eight months.

For reference, the only real changes I had to make to the branch were:

(1) Removed the empty string test in serialize_regress for the
IPAdressField.
        That isn't a string subfield, so empty string is invalid there
        (the test is invalid). PostgreSQL doesn't like an empty string
        for an inet field.

(2) Tweaked the datatypes tests for BooleanField slightly to make the
tests pass with MySQL.
        MySQL does not have a true boolean column type (it uses
        tinyint(1)), so we get back 1 and 0 from MySQL instead of True
        and False and cannot detect the field type to do a conversion in
        the backend, as far as I can tell.
        
Adrian or Jacob will need to set the branch to readonly now and give the
appropriate Boulder guys commit privileges to at least parts of trunk so
they can maintain this backend.

Regards,
Malcolm
