Without looking at the code, that probably shouldn't be too hard. Otoh 1)
MySQL now has some support for transactions and 2) if you really want this
to be used widely it should probably factor out all db code and hide it
under and API so that people could use it with whatever backend they see
fit (rdbms or not).

Wing has been widely tested in the field iirc, it's probably a good idea to
base anything in that domain on it.
