00029  * This class is a nice and simple class which just supplies the user
00030  * with a list of the available database source types.  It then allows
00031  * you to ask it for a handle to an instance which you then set some
00032  * parameters on, then call create().

00034  * Note:
00035  * 1. in the future this may use or inherit-from FXDLL so that we
00036  *    can dynamically load the various database sources.
00037  *
00038  * 2. this is a class rather than a namespace since, it then allows
00039  *    programmers to make an object out of it...
