OK, the code is ready for testing - I should get time to test and commit this 
weekend.

I've also been fixing certain parts of the QOF date handling to add the option 
to work in UTC time using the full date and time, remove deprecated code and 
provide for SQL queries of date parameters. (QOF_DATE_FORMAT_UTC).

I've also been adding "INSERT into" support to qof_sql_query and that's almost 
complete. It's not directly relevant to GnuCash but is useful for QOF.

My pilot-link project is now available separately. You'll need pilot-link CVS 
and QOF CVS to build it, but the code is here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pilot-qof/
http://pilot-qof.sourceforge.net/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pilot-qof/pilot-qof/

It's been spun out of pilot-link and I'm aiming to get it released as a Debian 
package (and possibly as an RPM for others) at the same time as the next QOF 
release.

If anyone fancies helping out (Philip? Are you still around?), there's work to 
be done to handle date ranges, SQL commands from a file (a text/sql file as 
output by mysqldump) and Palm categories. Small areas that really add to the 
usability of the mini-application.

I have a spare partition that I can wipe and create a suitable file to fill 
it. I have a few backup ISO's that I can copy around.
