	Yeah, I got a long way with the tests and the umich docs.  :)  
The test data was a little too much, I think it'd be nice to include a
shell script to bootstrap the database, something like the attached (real
quick hack) would've got me a long way.  :)

	The other problem I had getting going was knowing how to
authenticate myself.  I didn't realize that rootdn was what I needed to do
to modify the database more.  :)  I still haven't figured out how to let
individual users modify their own stuff, but I've got a long way to go
before I can launch this anywhere...

	One question, though, how come when I did this:

jpegphoto: /tmp/picture.jpg

...it didn't store the image, but just the path to the image?  It's my
understanding that the image should be stored.
