Mmm, I don't think perst will fit that plugin's needs. Its operation 
will consist in :
- The user sets a trust value for an identity. Get all identities that 
are trusted by this one and re-calculate*.
- We fetched a new trustlist (from a trusted identity), re-calculate* 
all listed identities.

* Get all the identities that trust a particular identity and calculate 
the resulting trust.

If we assume it has a lot of identities to handle, the re-calculation 
process will happen very often and I can't load every identities in 
memory and perform selections on them, each time. I need a way to only 
get those I'm interrested in.

I see two solutions :
- SQL (easy, but has to be embedded in freenet)
- Files (named like the identity they represent), listing the identity 
they trusts AND the identity that trust them. That would use a lot of 
disk space but garantees a fast access to the data.

I think the SQL is cleaner but am open to suggestions that are going to 
work with, let's say, 100.000 identities.
