Are you sure you want to use a binary database? One of my biggest
complaints about the windows world beyond the low reliability is the fact
that damn-near everything is binary, so you need some custom reader just
to read the thing (read: registry). I love the way that the Unix world
revolves around text files, and I wouldn't want to see that change.
