Mmm ... =~ 1000 lines of code :)

All was near ready Feb 6, but ... I got problems from canonification
routines in optimizer: 'where A AND B OR C ' becomes 'where (A OR C) AND (B OR C)'
and if C is subselect then ... C has to be processed twice (sometime) ...
I remember your question about handling 'A AND (B OR SubSelect)' - unfortunately,
I didn't see problems here (actually, there is no problem with this
conjunctive normal form :), but there are troubles in common case.

Ideas ?

For the moment I could leave this un-optimized, with possibility
of double subselect processing...
