OK, thanks. What I ended up doing was using postgresql as the database for 
HEAD, and continuing to use mysql as the database for production. This seemed 
to be the easiest way to do it for now.

All of this is made much easier by the fact that I'm the only one using the 
system right now (running it at home) :-)

Thanks again for your reply.
