No predictions without buddies?

Me too :)

* Clean up the RatingsDb classes to seperate into db and metadata
backends. Now it's a dirty mix between dan's old mysql code, my 
refactoring, and dan's new fixes.

* Let users configure the icon set. (To be tested)
I added two more smaller icon sets.

 From the README:
RATEIT_IMGPREFIX "RateIt"
The default "RateIt" images use the yellow wikilens smiley.
   Yellow is rated, blue is recommended, color-less the unselected icons.
   Size: 16x15

RATEIT_IMGPREFIX "RateItStar"
The traditional red star images must define the "RateItTrad" prefix in 
the RateIt plugin.
   Red is rated, blue is recommended, color-less the unselected icons.
   Size: 12x12

RATEIT_IMGPREFIX "RateItBStar"
The bigger red star images must define the "RateItStarB" prefix in the 
RateIt plugin.
   Red is rated, blue is recommended, color-less the unselected icons.
   Size: 18x16
