For reasons I don't understand, and which upstream has been unable to
explain to me, cqrlog uses the external libs when it's doing what it
calls 'remote' databases. If you accept the default settings when first
starting it then it runs some sort of private system (possibly still
using the client libraries) which puts the database in the users home
directory tree.

Yes, spelling is not my strong point, especially this late in the day.

No problem, as long as people are aware there is something wrong and are
looking at it then I'm happy.
