Greetings!  I'm using mnoGoSearch 3.1.19 on Linux and it's working great.  I
first started working with the software back when it was udmsearch, I think
somewhere in the late 2.1.x range.  In order to avoid naming conflicts with
other existing or future tables in a database, I would like to be able to
specify a prefix for all of the table names used by mnoGoSearch.  I asked
about this a year or two ago, but don't recall if it was planned for a
future version.  Is it currently possible to edit some files before
configuration in order to change the table names used?  If so, which files
need to be edited?  If this is difficult to do with existing versions, is
there interest in adding the flexibility to set a prefix for the table names
as a ./configuration option?

I see: --program-prefix=PREFIX
I would love to see: --db-table-prefix=PREFIX

I'm a server administrator and web programmer who does work for a lot of
clients with existing databases and the main problem I'm facing is that I
frequently have to do work for clients who already have a 'url' table in
their database.  As a result I have to either rename their table and all
corresponding code or if it's feasible then I setup mnoGoSearch under a new
database, but that introduces other limitations and difficulty.

I hope there's interest in the feature I propose.  And if it's currently
possible I'm eager to hear what steps I need to take.  Thanks.
