Btw, do you have any idea when you'll be able to do this? If its a 
matter of days or a few weeks, I'll hold of a conversion from our 
quartz-database to flint for the time being. Otherwise I'll probably 
convert our database somewhere next week since the current flint 
implementation seems to perform very well. (Unless there are stability 
issues?)
