Erm, yes, KISS.  All the Sql.pmod/*.pike files could simply be
made to inherit the Sql.SQL class.  This is possible at the pike
level (obviously).  Well, that makes the change rather trivial.
In fact so trivial that it almost seems like I must be overlooking
something; we could have done this 10 years ago.
