Description:
Workbench allows you to work with tables set to ENGINE=MariaDB, but the MariaDB engine was renamed to Aria in 2010, so the MariaDB engine is no longer recognized.

How to repeat:
Set a table to use the MariaDB engine and it will not be forward engineered.
Reverse engineer a database from MariaDB with tables using Aria and they will not be properly imported.

Suggested fix:
"%INSTALL_PATH%\MySQL Workbench 5.2 CE\modules\data\mysql_engines.xml"
> Change MariaDB to Aria (around line 170)

Alternatively, add Aria as another engine so that Workbench can be compatible with the few early releases that used that name.
