- the test_except test was doing an unnecessary workaround of some kind,
take that out, restore the better exception logic in exc
- Mysqlconnector as of version 2.0, probably as a side effect of
the  python 3 merge, now does not expect percent signs (e.g.
as used as the modulus operator and others) to be doubled,
even when using the "pyformat" bound parameter format (this
change is not documented by Mysqlconnector).  The dialect now
checks for py2k and for mysqlconnector less than version 2.0
when detecting if the modulus operator should be rendered as
``%%`` or ``%``.
- Unicode SQL is now passed for MySQLconnector version 2.0 and above;
for Py2k and MySQL < 2.0, strings are encoded.  Note that mysqlconnector
as of 2.0.1 appears to have a bug with unicode DDL on py2k, so the tests here
are skipping until we observe it's fixed.
- take out profiling on mysqlconnector, callcounts vary too much with
its current development speed
