Initial import of py-MySQLdb.
py-MySQLdb is a Python module to access MySQL databases, very similar to the one
in ports/databases/py-MySQL, but unlike the latter it is actively maintained
and conform to the DB-API v2.0. Therefore it should be used instead of the oldest
one by all who want retain maintainability of their Python DB applications in
the future.
