I briefly looked in to this a few days ago. It looks like at least some
support for mysqli is in place, but there was still a check specifically
for the mysql extension. Changing that test or adding the extension from
PECL just got me on to other problems. But looking at those led me to
the word that 0.28 is not far away and will have a web UI built in to
the backend, so I'm inclined to just sit on this for a little while and
see how the upcoming release goes.
