What do you mean by "configuration free"?  Something that doesn't store any 
config settings (ie, host, user, password, dbname) in the amarokrc file?  What is 
the problem with storing settings?  Is the problem the stored settings themselves, 
or that a user has to configure MySQL so that Amarok can use it?  If the latter, 
would it be acceptable to put in a Wiki entry that says "You can use regular 
MySQL, but we don't really support it and you have to edit the amarokrc file on 
your own"?

Given that there's a low chance of Gentoo making the compilation change to 
accommodate us, what should we do to get Amarok2 available on Gentoo?
