/* 

   class reads a database table and converts it to an Hierarchical hash (aka, parent/child).

   Table structure is assume to be:

      create table menu (

         id        int unsigned not null,

         parent_id int unsigned not null default 0,

         other columns below

      )

   where id is a unique identifier and parent_id is points to id in another row (zero indicating it is a top level)

   NOTE: column names may be changed. Also, while it is assumed id and parent_id are int's, it is quite likely it will

         work with other column types, including varchar

   Uses include any parent/child relationship, to an arbitrary depth. See class DBMenu for one example

   This class was written to be generic. The algorithm used attempts to not take advantage of any special language 

   capabilities, and should be generic. However, various languages can optimize this capability by using capabilities unique

   to the language in question. For an example, see David North's PERL implementation which utilizes references to allow for

   a single pass to convert from an array to a Hierarchical structure. Taking advantage of this allows his script to run

   use no additional memory (this algorithm will double the amount of memory used for the initial array) and does in a single

   iterative pass what the recursive function copyChildren does.
