Cheers!

Here's a brief overview of what we just put up there:
* tests/ - A lot of new tests. We tried to cover everything that we
changed/touched and more. We probably still missed something.
* sql/expressions.lisp - output-sql on sql-relational-exp does better
arity checking now. (apply #'sql-and some-list) gives better results.
* tests/test-init.lisp - test-database-user is now being correctly bound
in ODBC, this triggers a lot of failures based on ODBC not doing
ownership properly
* Ownership: a lot of tests that were referencing db owner are changed
to not reference the owner-- this isn't supported everywhere and most of
these tests were also checking something else. Added new ownership
specific tests that tried to cover everything that was taken out of the
others.
* Test output banner now prints the database name, not just the type.
This is really useful for testing different database versions that use
the same clsql backend.
* some dataset tweaks: error printing, restarts

At the moment we've gone ahead and updated master, but look for exciting
new things to come in dev. Time printing, connection pool testing, and more.
