Attempts to convert a sqlite sympa DB to mysql sympa DB.

Usage:

extract mysql database structure
CREATE DATABASE and USER in mysql
dump sqlite into dump.sqlite: sqlite3 /path/to/your/sqlite3/sympa/sympa .dump > dump.sqlite
convert dump: cat dump.sqlite | perl sqlite2mysql.pl > dump.mysql
push dump into mysql: mysql -u sympa -p sympa < dump.perl
for Debian users: dpkg-reconfigure sympa, don't forget to reconf database, you can ignore errors as database already exists
