After building a proof of concept DB-Mixin for internal use I got
mgalomaniac and thought of the same ;-) I'd like to start with a real
ObjectRationalBridge cause i'm bound to a relational db environment at
work. Using dRuby as remote access seems fine. Outstanding issues are:

a ruby clone, right now), access control (steel design from PAM?) and,
ehm, transaction control. Any volunteers? *g*
