I hate to do this, but the name might be a problem. I have a 
vague idea that scrollkeeper was originally to be called 
Alexandria, undoubtedly for the same reasons. And that there
was already a project using the same name. And scrollkeeper
therefore couldn't use it.

Can anyone (Sander, Malcolm, Dan?) recall the details?
