Working towards that as well.  Currently has some basic profiling 
capabilities for finding the real nasty queries (reminiscent to 
adodb's).   For the most part the multi-table queries tend to be pretty 
tight as long as the indexes are already set up.  I've been considering 
what it would take to parse an explain and make suggestions for some time.

The whole idea is something of a self-generating dao (or orm, i get the 
concepts and then I get them mixed up) that quietly caches itself out of 
existence over time, but sticks around for general maintenance when 
needed.  I'm glad to see some interest.  Good motivation to get this 
thing out in the world soon.
