Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:32 ryandesign]:
 > We can probably adapt the Python-variant-generating code for MySQL.

 But we would probably have to make such code accommodate multiple database
 systems—at least MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. Consider the bacula port,
 which has variants client_only mysql51 mysql55 postgresql83 postgresql84
 sqlite3, all of which conflict with one another. (The client_only variant
 is probably evidence of a missed opportunity to offer separate client and
 server subports.)

 See [attachment:bacula.diff] for proposed code accommodates this.
