Is there some clear documentation of the SQL schema somewhere?  I had a
look through the gnc-*-sql.cpp files, but it's not the most transparent
description of a database that I've ever read. :)   I was considering
putting together a set of Python/SQLAlchemy classes that implement the
object-data mapping, and would be happy to contribute it back to the
project, if people thought that'd be useful.
