Well, I still have my local CVS copy.

Attached is a diff I've just made of NESSUS_SQL vs. the 2.2.5 release. I
think the database integration was not tested with this release. Of the top
of my head, I think I did test the code in 2.2.3 and worked with MySQL. There
are some known issues with the code, however, see the TODO.

There's always the mailing list archives too, I believe I submitted at some
point patches there for people to play with.

If there's somebody willing to work on this I can forward him all the e-mail
exchanges I had related to this development, in case they are of any use.
