You are mistaken.  This does *not* send raw sql to the database.  It
parses the sql into a DynamicViewEntity, which ofbiz then reconverts
back to whatever sql dialect is required by the underlying database.
Offset/limit can be completely handled in java.

Besides, I currently don't have them fully implemented.  And
EntityFindOptions has a maxRows option.

Which is easier; editting a <view-entity> xml definition, or creating
a sql string?  Consider the case when you have option parts of a query
you have to deal with.

In addition, I'll be adding helper methods to parse *just* entity
conditions.  It's mostly there, I just haven't made the methods public.
