Wow guys, nice job!!!

Maybe someone with commit rights could actually commit this to the
repository? Of course it's possible to set up a separate (git)
repository for KPA-related unofficial stuff but I guess it's better if
this goes to the official repository. However I have no clue how to
commit stuff there or how to gain commit rights (ok, I don't even know
how to apply the patch files Andreas sent so basically I have no idea
what your script does, I wasn't able to try it ;)

As far as I know, there is no SQL backend. It was never finished but
it's still around in the menus and settings which indeed does confuse
users.. So don't care about it.
