Tests, stress-test and performance-tests for Common Lisp object-databases and persistence libraries.

Why?

For evaluating object databases and comparing syntax and features.
Makes implementation of new object databases easier, since you don't have to invent all the new testcases.
A wishlist for new features, add a test and see if someone implements it.
Maybe improves the quality of object databases over time?
Writing tests is a good way to learn the object-databases.

Some inspiration, such as the name Grand-Prix and the name of some classes, come from a similar project in Java called PolePosition

Current status:

2007-feb-07, the first upload, codename "basic". Contains:

Code to run tests
Poor mans multiprocessing, makes it possible to write tests that run over parallel lisp processes.
Only one test, named Anderstorp after the Swedish racetrack, checks if several processes can write at the same time.
A driver for rucksack (expected to fail on the Anderstorp test).
A driver for elephant (expected to work on the Anderstorp test).
A driver for cl-perec (expected to work on the Anderstorp test).
