How is this code used now? Just copied over server/userdb in the cvs
checkout on pubserver, or what?

Since the server anyway has a direct link to the mysql db here, why not
just insert the game results into the db directly, instead of going the
way of parsing the gamelog?

I have no problem with making both authentication and pubserver mode
require mysql, BTW. In terms of third-party usability, it will be
light-years ahead of what we (do not) have now anyway.
