ADDED: The install.sh script for the mysql version is no able to install the

required Mysql module directly from CPAN, thanks to David A. Bandel!
FIXED:          The mysql version did not display notes (i.e.: "note 3" did nothing)
CHANGED:        Again, the sql-format of the mysql database has been changed. Now
                there are only 3 fields, the number filed is the primary key, the id
                field in previous versions was a waste of diskspace...
CHANGED:        The format of the dump-output has been changed.
ADDED:          It is now possible to import previously dumped notes into the notedb
                (dumps from both versions are compatible with each other)
FIXED:          the function num_bereich() had a bug, which caused ot to ignore under
                some circumstances one number (i.e. "note -d 4-13" did nothing).
