See SVN :)

But the code is pretty simple, nothing special.
It just takes some care of bugs I encountered in the MySQL database, and it converts 
int to boolean through some casting tricks in SQL. 
(It seems Mantis creates different databases for different engines)

The hard work is creating all the SQL statements.
