DBD::drizzle 0.100 Released!

Hi community!

I'm incredibly elated to announce the release of DBD::drizzle 0.100. 
What is different about this release? It uses Eric Day's new client 
library, libdrizzle! This means we could eventually package the client 
with DBD::drizzle, eliminating the issues I have with DBD::mysql where 
code doesn't compile because of trying to compile DBD::drizzle against a 
MySQL client binary produced on a different machine with a different 
compiler and compile flags.

I want to thank Clint Byrum - immense thanks- for his work, which the 
majority of, made this possible. He and I spent the last several days 
together at the users conference going over the code, getting it to 
work. We achieved together more in hours time what would have taken days 
or even weeks. I'm also glad to have gotten to know Clint-- it's great 
to make new friends!

The next step is that we'll probably write this from scratch at some 
point. Right now, this is a retro-fit of DBD::mysql, which works just 
fine. However, we would like write a low-level 1:1 Perl:C layer of 
libdrizzle which we would then make DBD::drizzle to take advantage of 
libdrizzle's various features-- especially asynchronous features-- that 
might not be easy to access within the framework of DBI. I particularly 
like the way Tim Bunce's Memcached::libmemcached works with Daisuke 
Maki's Cache::Memcached::libmemcached-- something of that idea I would 
like to do with DBD::drizzle.

So, go get the code!!! All tests pass!
