[horde] expanding on the "pear install MDB2_Schema" step during upgrade

[mtecles at biof.ufrj.br]

Sorry, resending to the list.

You should install the respective DB driver. At the time I upgraded 
from Horde 3.1.5 to 3.3.4 I used a beta version:

pear install -a MDB2-2.5.0b2 MDB2_Driver_mysql-1.5.0b2 
MDB2_Driver_mysqli-1.5.0b2 MDB2_Schema-0.8.4

I believe that with Mysql 5 you can use mysqli or mysql driver.

Have your horde/config/conf.php set up, specially [sql][phptype], 
horde user, horde DB and password.
