Well, I rewrote it to detach/attach most things and clone the rest, so
the delete is now real and works better in such cases.

So DmDeleteDatabase does a delete on a mostly emptied database, but
the backup is a complete (AFAIK) image of the original.

If anyone tested the original version, you need to disable the hack to
replace it.

(I still need a list of databases not to back up for temporaries and
to copy the zboxz UI elements as appropriate - multiple selecitons
with functions, but for now the core technology works, or I think it
does, hence the posts here).
