DBI is getting a bit weighty for the bootstrapping kit. I suppose you
could make it a two-stage thing. Perhaps the entry point is a short
index of client tools which are themselves able to fetch the bigger
index(es).

It is a generated thing, right? I somewhat like the idea of it being
able to have more than one format. Piecewise updates would be grand.
On a related note, I'm really liking mongodb.
