You can write ADB provider modules, i.e. you just have to create a DLL implementing some (simple) interface and you can plug it in Mahogany. As a (very simple) example, it was completely trivial to add expansion of the people in /etc/passwd under Unix, it took me 15 minutes to write a new "Password" ADB provider and that was it. In a similar way you can already write a back end using a database.
