berkley db xml

[Matt Jones]

Hey,

I came across this embedded XML DB based ont he original Berkley DB.  It 
supports XPath queries, and is pretty lightweight.  Looks like it could 
be appropriate for Morpho to eliminate some of our memory issues with 
needing to have all local documents in memory for the query.  The only 
downside I see is that it is C++ code and so we would need it to compile 
on all target platforms.  There is a Java API for accessing it, though. 
Jalama is heading that way anyway.
