In r65404 [0], I have removed the current MSSQL

MediaWiki. It is
very broken, and is based on the older MSSQL driver for PHP which is no longer
supported.
As long as no one was using it . . .
Additionally, we have a new committer (CC'd this
to him specifically) who is
planning to work on MSSQL support. A branch will probably be best for this, at
least initially.
Why? A new database driver is exactly the sort of thing that
*doesn't* need a branch -- it shouldn't have to interfere with any
existing use of MediaWiki.
I'd probably like to see new-installer merged
before we work on
trying to merge any new MSSQL implementations.
If someone is willing to do the work to add it, I don't see why we
shouldn't let them.
