[sork] vacation program db formats

Doesn't matter what the different hosts have in my complex scheme, only
what php has compiled in ;)

You know, that seems much easier :)  And if people come up with vacation
programs that don't work, they can submit the appropriate file for inclusion...

I think we may have a winner here.  The user would still have to configure
per realm which format to use, with "null" being the default in case they
don't set anything...  (So only sites where null doesn't work *need* to
be configured, though all site probably *should* configure it)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
