Hi,

I seen the Temple library and I was thinking to use it, but I did 
not had time to look in more details on it. It looks very nice 
and I will use it for sure.

The solution that I found with the dh files is just a temporary 
and it should be rewritten as soon as I will find a good solution 
for the models.

Regarding the models I tried to implement something that comforms 
with "activerecord" in the past, but I failed big time... I 
intend to do a similar interface for relational databases too, 
but I don't know right now how I should treat the joins...

@Rikki nice job with your projects. I did not know about them and 
I will take a look on them these days.

Thanks,
Bogdan
