Michael Bayne a9c992bb44 Great big revampage: no more strings anywhere. It's all ColumnExps all the way
down (well, all the way to the public API anyway).

Revamped index creation while I was in there because that was one of the big
string users. Now you just put @Index on the field you want indexed, and if you
want a multi-column index you do things with a magical static method just like
we do for complex (function) indices.

@UniqueConstraint may still go away since it's basically exactly the same thing
as @Index(unique=true), so it's kind of pointless to support both.

Depot Persistence Library
-------------------------

Depot is a relational persistence library for Java. It is an ORM library, but
has aims that are somewhat different from the popular "managed" persistence
libraries like Hibernate and others.

Website
-------

See the Depot website for documentation and other info:

  http://code.google.com/p/depot/

Building
--------

The library is built using ant. It can be found here:

  http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/

Next, ensure that the necessary third party jar files are copied to the lib/
directory. See etc/libs-incl.xml for the list of those jar files.

Finally invoke 'ant dist' to compile the code and generate a jar file. Invoke
'ant -p' to see information on other build targets.

Depot also provides .classpath and .project files for Eclipse users which
require that you set an EXT_LIBS_DIR variable indicating the location of the
external jar dependencies. The Depot Eclipse project also depends on the
Eclipse project for the samskivert library. That library can be found at:

  http://code.google.com/p/samskivert/

License and Distribution
------------------------

Depot is released under the LGPL. This means you are free to use Depot on any
project, open source or proprietary, but that any modifications made to the
library must be made available to the maintainers. See COPYING for more
detailed information.

The most recent version of the Depot source code is available at the website
listed above.
