I just had what I think is a great idea. :-)  Is DabbleDB suited for 
this?  Is there any DabbleDB expert that can work out the schema and so on?

I hope that we can in some way export from DabbleDB to Smalltalk code so 
that the specification could be run by ANSI-compliant Smalltalks.  But I 
also hope using DabbleDB will give us a powerful environment to work in.
