Storing everything in one dbfile is a bad idea.  When that dbfile dies,
everything dies with it.

I would rather be able to track external objects like .desktop files
than store them in one big database.

I've never corrupted an mbox file but it could happen.  I always thought
a BDB or Sqlite would have been better but those can get ripped too.

    Creative brains are a valuable, limited resource. They shouldn't be
    wasted on re-inventing the wheel when there are so many fascinating
    new problems waiting out there.
