So I'm trying to write an html importer. While trying
to setup storage here I found have some misc problems/questions.

- The script assume you are using gargamel as user. Is this patch ok ?

- Redhat (>=8 I think) use a local setup for postgre by default.
This means you dont have to pass an host name. I'm not sure how we want
to handle this ... should we require rh users to change their config
or should we support hostname == NULL and use that by default ?

I'm not clear about user/password/host is going to work too. How
applications know what to pass for these values ?

- I get a crash in libstorage, on the binary test.

Is this something known, before I start investigate it ?

- Any suggestion on what to use to parse html ? libwww maybe ?
