Well, nobody is paying me, but I want to 

- fix the btree problem leaking unused pages (I think I'm getting near, I just haven't had free time during the last
month). This one is a must to me.
 

- try different regexp algorithms, compare efficiency.  Both Henry Spencer's new code for Tcl, and Baeza-Navarro
shift-orapproach (can be much faster than "traditional" regex engines) (do people care for allowing "search with
errors",similar to what agrep and nrgrep do?)
