Literally, all we need to be able to do is change the connection
string on the MySQLUserFolder and few ZMySQLDA objects before Zope
fires up. I've been hacking on a command-line utility to do this
directly in the ZODB, but I can't seem to get it to be able to commit
the change:

Any pointers would be appreciated.
