   Data Base Abstraction
   
   This class provides a simple interface to an abstract notion of a 
   database directory for storing state information about the system.

   The 'Meta' information for a package is the control information and
   setup scripts stored inside the archive. GetMetaTmp returns the name of
   a directory that is used to store named files containing the control
   information. 
   
   The File Listing is the database of installed files. It is loaded 
   into the memory/persistent cache structure by the ReadFileList method.
