Hi Denis,

I hope things are well with you. I'm settled in the U.S. and now have some 
time to think about dar/kdar. Glad to see you've made the move to have 
dar_manager in the API. While it looks like you haven't made an official 
announcement yet, I'll comment and ask questions anyway.

The API includes functions for manipulating the path to the dar binary. 
Shouldn't the database object just call libdar functions directly through the 
API?

add_archive(...) requires a catalogue reference. It seems akward from a 
developer point of view: macro_tools.hpp has to be included in order to use 
the "macro_tools_get_catalogue_from()" helper to get the catalogue. This 
could be called from within add_archive() directly, no?

Cheers,
JB
