The question is, what you would gain from MySQL as database engine. As Russ 
already stated, a lot of new added complexity and a new dependency that can 
turn into a failure if MySQL hangs. 

If someone is really looking for a SQL-engine, perhaps SQLite would be a good 
fit (http://www.sqlite.org) since it is embeddable in the source, OSS and 
really small, although I personally don't see why someone would want to use 
SQL instead of Berkeley DB. But then again, it might work and programming a 
backend for it should not be more complex than for BDB I think.
