Hey Sam,

I've thought about storing the data in the SQL database, but since I will
also be using this editor to edit .css files I thought it would be more
appropriate to have a function that allows me to read or write to these
files as well.

For defining the functions with lib.ml, I was wondering whether Links uses
the (the Std module<http://ocaml-extlib.googlecode.com/svn/doc/apiref/Std.html>
seemed
of particular interest) extended library for OCaml or whether I'm going to
have to work with just out_channel and in_channel. I don't know too much
OCaml (at all) so any pointers here would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Simon
