Just for a follow up:


A recent merge into the develop branch should have removed all usages of 
'mysql' functions from everywhere except the 'setup' folder and the 
website_code/php/database_library.php script.

In order to fully drop the dependency on 'mysql' we just need to rewrite 
db_query and db_query_one in database_library.php. This has already been 
done with the database_library-sqlite.php script.
