Hi

anarcat@shall[~/libh/release/pkgtools]% ../../compile/none/tclh.static crea=
te_db.tcl ./pkg
Database created in ./pkg
=2E/pkg /opt
anarcat@shall[~/libh/release/pkgtools]% ../../compile/none/tclh.static crea=
te_db.tcl ./pkg
Database created in ./pkg

This means that create_db will *always* "work". Ie, now that the
Database() constructor doesn't throw an exception when the database is
already created, there's no way to detect if a database is indeed
created.=20

What could be done would be to make the create() function public instead
of just private, so that it could be used from TCL directly.

The C++ public create() command could also be re-implemented with
create(). Instead.

Right now, I don't think this is a so big issue, so I'll leave it aside.

A.
