What is the normal naming convention for tools built with KDE/Qt?  I have
never used any, so I don't have any idea.  I would not call it a name
with just pilot-db or db as the name; there should be something in the name 
that indicates that it is not the palmos side.

I think that .csv (raw data), .ifo (metadata), and .pdb (resulting DB file)
should be the extensions.  What about extensions for the DB filters?
