[Kexi] kexi purposefully not supporting non-file drivers?

hi all...

so.. i went to use kexi from the 1.6 branch today when i tried to create a 
connection to a remote database it wouldn't list any of the drivers; i have 
both mysql and postgresql installed (and ktradertest confirmed that).

i tracked it down to a rather suspicious looking line in 
kexidb/drivermanager.cpp .. on line 150 it checks to see if the drvType 
== "file"; this obviously fails for db servers such as postgres. but the else 
branch on line 172 is:

else {
    // no support for this driver
    continue;
}

whoops! when i remove the continue things work fine again and i can connect to 
my postgresql server.

p.s. i'm not on this list. please CC me on replies if you wouldn't mind.
