At the moment, r2 doens't "use it" per se - because QueryManager hasn't been
integrated into the system. There is nothing that would prevent you from
using the PEAR DB abstraction layer, actually.

Metabase is what all of the r1 code uses, and what QueryManager will use
when it is integrate into the system. For the moment, metabase is importable
from the binarycloud/ext/ tree.

Correct: the schemas are from r1 and aren't used at the moment - though
again you could use them to create a functioning r1-style auth/perm system.

general is fine, but I think -dev is better :_)
