Not any longer if you are using CVS sources.

For your information I have just updated the configure.in code so that 
it can be used with options: --with-mysql, --with-postgresql, 
--with-oracle, --with-odbc (based on snort's autoconfiguration scripts)

Using these options will add the new code into nessusd. It won't be 
included unless you explicitly ask for it (i.e. -DUSE_DATABASE will not 
be set). I've also changed the Makefile with William's patch so that 
save_db gets compiled. It has to be tweaked though so that it is _not_ 
compiled if -DUSE_DATABASE is not set.

In any case, I'm having issues compiling when enabling --with-mysql 
(only code available at the time is -DUSE_MYSQL) however it compiles 
fine w/o.

Hopefully, this will help get the database code into the HEAD branch 
faster since now people will not have DB issues unless they explicitly 
enable the code with the --with-XX options :-)
