SQL backend consolidation

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen]

I like the idea of just targeting one database. I know that some
people swear by postgress/mysql/whatever but I really think the vast
majority of our users really don't care and just use whatever we ship
as default ( as long as it is "good enough" ). This will be even more
so once we are running on Windows and Mac as well I think.

Also, any time saved not struggling with different database backends
allows for more time spent actually doing productive stuff :-)
