Things yet to do:

* redesign schema configuration files from rwhoisd.auth_area down.
  New design to facilitate schema sharing, non-redundant path specification.

* document register's external parse support.

* Add "mimimal" record write ability (records that take up minimal
  disk space).

* Additional verifications during register (like checking that
  referral records are correct, local links exist?).

* Add additional dump-like display formats (i.e., only generalizable
  display formats will be implemented; we are letting go of the
  whois-style per-class formatting)

* Add more options to the indexer.

* Add support for MIME, at least for MIME attributes.

* Reintegrate experimental UDP server implemenation.

* Convert to POSIX extended regular expressions (use rx, or native)

* create a 1.0 -> 1.5 data migration tool

* try adding a hashtable mechanism to speed up configuration processing.

* enable notify directive functionality

* generalize backend database API

** create a specific schema SQL backend, probably using mysql or mSQL

** create a generic schema SQL backend
