[Gentoo] MySQL-4.1 and OpenLDAP-2.2

Ok, so users and developers alike have been waiting for MySQL-4.1* and OpenLDAP-2.2
Finally, we're making some progress on them. Testers are definetly wanted, and be prepared for a bumpy ride.

Read my recent posts to gentoo-dev about it:

Cell chip to make existing supercomputers obsolete?

Seeing the specificiations on the new Cell chip, I think the current crop of super-computers have a lot of trouble heading their way.

This is the #1 supercomputer in the world:

Rpeak of ~92 Teraflops.

This is the new PlayStation3:

Sony claims there are 2.18 Teraflops in this box.

Even being ultra-conservative, and saying the PS3 is only good for 1Teraflop, you only need 100 of them to exceed the #1 supercomputer.
Say they cost $1000 each (including the infrastructure costs per unit), you are only at $100,000 USD, compared to a few million for the existing supercomputer.
