MySQL doesn't do md5() passwords; anything that MySQL itself wants is going
to be using mysql's password() function. Horde uses the PHP md5() method.
However, if you were using, say, pam_mysql, you'd probably want the mhash
method. Anthing OS-based is going to want the mhash method. So, IMHO, it
should be the default.
