This is correct in the sense that mifluz and the 3.2 code for ht://Dig are
based on the same code. We haven't synched the code recently, which is
certainly one of the tasks needed before too long.

While you could conceivably store an inverted word index from mifluz or
ht://Dig in a SQL database, I don't think it's as efficient (esp. in terms
of database size) as the databases we currently use. I don't know how easy
or useful it would be to make a SQL binding for these databases--in part
because some SQL queries would be very difficult to execute.
