No magic, as theres no pooling yet :)  My issue is that "know when
connections should be closed" is when the db handle is ready to be GCed.. so
I thought I would just use some "destructors" and all would be easy.. but
there are none.  So I'm not really sure on how to figure out when I should
close a connection, unless I explicitely close it.

I'm gonna try Bryce's block thing.  :)
