I agree that in the long term we can assume this, however, in the shorter
term if I were to release an app that used PEAR's db abstraction I would
probably try to bundle the classes with it to ensure that they could use it
out of the box.  I am still interested in knowing what a minimal PEAR:DB
abstraction layer for mysql would consist of.  I can find out myself but I
though someone here would have a quick answer.
