One way to proceed is to not have both mysql and postgres as USE flags. |
| 17 |
Have one as a flag, and have negation of that flag mean to use the |
| 18 |
other. Does that make sense for this package, or can they both |
| 19 |
reasonably be used at the same time? |

I strongly discourage dying here; do something smart and log a warning |
| 22 |
to the user about it. |
