Currently I need to get my physical quantities library sorted out and make a
formal review request, so I reckon I'll leave this until the new website is up.
I've also got a vague idea to investigate a boost GUI... Meanwhile if anyone
else feels inspired... please dont feel you'll be stepping on my toes ..... ;-)

I suppose a full blown relational database is out of the question? Seriously
isnt that the right way to do this? Or is that the status quo? If one wanted to
do a more modular boost then that data would also be used to generate modules or
packages on demand, the regression results go in, etc, etc.
