There is one caveat. Either the XDB format has options for common features 
only or it has to have some vendor sepcific "hint sections".

Otherwise the engine definitions for Mysql are lost.

Anyway, for 5.0 I'd like to see neither .php nor .sql files for any 
coniguration task. Only XML or maybe a simple text format.
