	For automated testing the developer's list is prolly the better place

	Quite :-) we'd strongly prefer a unit-test-like test harness such as we
have in sc/qa/unit/ (and CppUnit makefiles in the toplevel).

	Ho hum ;-) is there an ODBC driver that sqlite provides that we could
use (in conjunction with a SQLite backend (currently there is none)) to
make a fast/light unit test for base ? it would be fantastic to have
anything in this space at all really ...
