Hey guys, This seems like a pretty obvious snippet of code, but I couldn't find it in my quick look through PEAR. Is there any code currently in PEAR that takes a PEAR-style DSN and turns it into a PDO-style DSN? 
    PEAR: mysql://user:pass@host/db
    PDO: mysql:host=host;dbname=db
Better yet, is there a database factory object that I'm missing that will let me provide a PEAR-style DSN and get a DB, MDB2, or PDO object back from it? It's simple enough to code something to meet that end, but I don't want to go re-inventing the wheel if I don't have to.
Its really a pitty that PDO devs never implemented portable DSN support. It seems like such a trivial yet convinient thing. So yeah, having a super simple generic loader for DB API's might be nice to have. regards, Lukas
