That's just a public remind for the ones who wish to use IMDbPY
with the local data access system.

Being unmaintained, the moviedb programs have some problem handling
the mole of the current plain text data files.

Luckily enough, it can still work with some minor changes; I copy
the information I've written in the README.local file:

==================================================
NOTE: the current (3.24) moviedb version is old an it was not
thought with tv series episodes support in mind.
It can still work very well, but you've to modify some constants
in the code: edit the "moviedb.h" file in the "src" directory,
and change MAXTITLES to _at least_ 1600000, MAXNAKAENTRIES
to 700000, MAXFILMOGRAPHIES to 20470 and LINKSTART to 1000000.
Also, setting MXLINELEN to 1023 is a good idea.
See http://us.imdb.com/database_statistics for more up-to-date
statistics.
==================================================

HTH.

By the way, I hope to release IMDbPY 3.5 in this weekend.
