I'm considering r1294 as "done" for 0.19.  It has the SQLite DB changes,
plus it adds partial SchemaLoader support for SQL Server (allowing us to
use DbMetal to generate entity definitions from SQL Server).

Transactions are also working (at least, the Insert_Update_Delete.cs
transaction-using samples are now working).

This prompts the immortal question: what's involved in a release?

I see four things:

 1. Tag the revision.
 2. Build the tree.
 3. Create .zip files from the source tree and built binaries.
 4. Publish the .zip files on the web site.

Consider this your "last notice."  I'll be tagging some time tomorrow,
unless someone has a really good reason to hold off. :-)

Thanks,
 - Jon
