 * Version: $Id$

 * History:
 * $Log$
 * Revision 1.6  2003/04/13 18:07:10  zecke
 * More API doc
 * QString -> const QString&
 * QString = 0l -> QString::null
 *
 * Revision 1.5  2003/02/21 23:31:52  zecke
 * Add XML datebookresource
 * -clean up todoaccessxml header
 * -implement some more stuff in the oeven tester
 * -extend DefaultFactory to not crash and to use datebook
 *
 * -reading of OEvents is working nicely.. saving will be added
 *  tomorrow
 *  -fix spelling in ODateBookAcces
 *
 * Revision 1.4  2002/10/14 15:55:18  eilers
 * Redeactivate SQL.. ;)
 *
 * Revision 1.3  2002/10/10 17:08:58  zecke
 * The Cache is finally in place
 * I tested it with my todolist and it 'works' for 10.000 todos the hits are awesome ;)
 * The read ahead functionality does not make sense for XMLs backends because most of the stuff is already in memory. While using readahead on SQL makes things a lot faster....
 * I still have to fully implement read ahead
 * This change is bic but sc
 *
 * Revision 1.2  2002/10/08 09:27:36  eilers
 * Fixed libopie.pro to include the new pim-API.
 * The SQL-Stuff is currently deactivated. Otherwise everyone who wants to
 * compile itself would need to install libsqlite, libopiesql...
 * Therefore, the backend currently uses XML only..
 *
 * Revision 1.1  2002/10/07 17:35:01  eilers
 * added OBackendFactory for advanced backend access
 *
