Accessing the repository via the Berkely DB APIs would be difficult 
without the much of the code in the repository, so I think it till makes 
a lot of sense to package up that code into another process, e.g. in a 
daemon or service that always runs. So you have the choice of having 
Chandler share an extra copy of the code or having a single service with 
a single copy of the code and Chandler accessing the service.
