 Merge in the todos from the source and the NOTES!
 
+October 19, 2005
+
+The SQL back-end stuff has only been tested with 
+Postgress and SBCL.
+
+Using SQLite and mysql would really expand the 
+usage of the system, I assume.
+
+The database-stuff is fairly slow since it 
+does normal serialization and then Base64 encoding.
+This is very safe and simple, but costs us a lot of bytes
+to and from the database; a better serializer would
+make things MUCH faster.
