Is there a particular reason that Drupal's database.mysql file hard-codes tables
to use MyISAM rather than leaving this specification off so it just inherits
whatever the default table type is? I found this thread
http://drupal.org/node/43336 which makes reference to a development discussion
on engine agnosticity (I'm pretty sure I just made that word up) but I wasn't
able to find the original discussion.
On the off-chance there isn't, here is a patch:
