A LOT needs to be fixed.  It needs to learn how to store all of the
new objects, and it needs to learn how to find all the new objects.
This is going to be a relatively major undertaking (the lookups at
least).  Also, the postgres code is rather slow and too-integrated
(meaning that it can't easily be ported to another DB).

You're welcome to help Matthew Vanneck, who is currently working on
it..
