i should have announced this a few days ago, but now seems like a good
time....

i've been playing with a php frontend to refdb for a couple of days
now...nothing fancy, but its a proof of concept...

right now, its only a search interface, and it interacts with the
command line client...here's a URL if anyone's interested....bruce has
helped a bunch with the xslt/css stuff:

    http://junk.lib.muohio.edu/refdb/

anyway, take a whack at it, send suggestions, etc....if you want the
source, just let me know...its pretty trivial stuff at this point, and
still needs some authentication, input verification, entry facilities...
