This code provides the support to store help files in a MySQL database. The help data is then queried on the fly from within the mud, and can also be manipulated from a website with the proper additional scripting support.

The intention of this code is to provide the first real step in beginning a move from flatfile storage of game data over to more robust database storage.

It is not intended to demonstrate the BEST method for doing this, just one that does work. Over time, additional database support will likely be made available, such as being able to use PostgreSQL or some other database engine.

Compatible with AFKMud 2.0 and up.

Version 1.1 Update - Fixed some bugs in the setup and brought it up to speed with the latest GCC updates.
