As long as entire subsystems are on the table, why not rewrite the
thing in Perl? That plus switching to PostgreSQL would be less work
than the latter in isolation.
I'm now using git to track two separate branches (MySQL,
PostgreSQL) and
as I fix one branch, import (or "cherry-pick" in git-ese) non-version
specific bug fixes into the other.
Git? You're using git?? I love git, but a much better complement to
PHP would be Visual SourceSafe.

No, no, by all means bring it forth! :-D Have you ever tried
functional programming in PHP?
