[Opensource] Deploying Expresso without a "default" database

[maxxam at inetfreemail.co.za]

Hi Malc/Larry,

Thanks for the fix. Worked great. I had no idea that the two db names were
different.

I'll try to keep you up to date on eapps. So far it's been pretty good,
but I'm still busy trying to deploy my application. Still quite a few bits
to sort out.

Thanks again,
Max
