CRAN release 0.10

• New maintainer: Jeroen Ooms
• Internal changes to support static linking on Windows; this means that
  windows a binary is now available on CRAN.
• The following internal functions are no longer exported: please
  use the corresponding DBI generic instead:

mysqlInitDriver, mysqlCloseDriver, mysqlDescribeDriver,
mysqlDriverInfo, mysqlNewConnection, mysqlCloneConnection,
mysqlDescribeConnection, mysqlConnectionInfo, mysqlCloseConnection,
mysqlExecStatement, mysqlQuickSQL, mysqlDBApply, mysqlFetch,
mysqlResultInfo, mysqlDescribeResult, mysqlDescribeFields,
mysqlCloseResult, mysqlImportFile, mysqlReadTable, mysqlWriteTable,
mysqlEscapeStrings, mysqlDataType, safe.write.

• RMySQL gains transaction support with dbBegin(), dbCommit(),
  and dbRollback(), but note that MySQL does not allow data definition
  language statements to be rolled back.
• The MySQLObject base class has been removed - there is no real shared
  behaviour for MySQLDriver, MySQLConnection and MySQLResult so this
  simplifies the code
• Implemented methods for dbIsValid(); please use these instead of
  isIdCurrent().
• Implement dbFetch() method; please use this in preference to fetch().
  dbFetch() now returns a 0-row data frame (instead of an 0-col data frame)
  if there are no results.
• Methods no longer automatically close open result sets. This was implemented
  inconsistently in a handful of places.
• dbBuildTableDefinition() has been renamed to mysqlBuildTableDefinition().
• dbWriteTable() has been rewritten:
• It quotes field names using dbQuoteIdentifier(), rather
  than use a flawed black-list based approach with name munging.
• It now throws errors on failure, rather than returning FALSE.
• It will automatically add row names only if they are character, not integer.
• When loading a file from disk, dbWriteTable() will no longer
  attempt to guess the correct values for row.names and header - instead
  supply them explicitly if the defaults are incorrect.
• When given a zero-row data frame it will just creates the table
  definition.
• Assorted fixes accumulated since last release 3 years ago.
• MySQL() no longer has force.reload argument - it's not obvious that
  this ever worked.
