elephant - an object database for common lisp

elephant is an object database for common lisp.  it is transparent to
use, plays well with CLOS, easy to use, flexible, and fast.  it uses
sleepycat (berkeley db), which is server-less, ACID compliant,
transactional, multi-process and thread safe, and probably beats the
pants off of most relational databases.  the design goals are
simplicity, ease-of-use, safety, and speed.

currently it is in alpha, so claims about performance and safety
should be taken with a grain of salt.  eventually it will be portable
but right now only works on CMUCL; it uses Paul Foley's berkeley-db
package.
