There are currently 6 open bugs in the bugtracker. I don't think we
should declare 1.0 before all of them are resolved. We could either
decide that a bug is no problem for 1.0 or we should fix it. 

Another thing is that I think that 1.0 should be able to index the
entire linux-kernel and run on lxr.linux.no. It must of course be me who
does this testing. 

We should also decide on which database backends to support. We should
not ship backends that do not work. Have anyone ever gotten the DBFile
backend to work?
