It "runs"!
I've commented out some useless :p things like the menu and database loading. 
There is a weird i18n thing after the filename for the database which, I 
think, makes the create functions for the database fail and all "get" 
statements fail after that. But since there are no return values for opening 
the database (yet) it tries to read anyway and crashes.

I'm not going to post screenshots yet, because it looks like crap, but it 
runs :D

Bauno: if you can give me cvs access I'll upload it to a branch, or if you 
want a (big) patch I can post that too on the mailing list.
