1. changed db_qd_log to use the passed-in level rather than gluing things to "Debug" for convenience. I then changed all the "Notice" calls to "Debug". Then my one "Error" call I added worked! :) If a query file has a syntax error in it now, an error is logged to the server log but bootstrapping continues.
2. Lots and lots or etp oracle fixes and some PG version clean-ups
3. Some file-storage files were unconventionally named.
1. Modified the init code so edit-this-page doesn't die if there's a type name clash with an existing content type ("News Item"). It now skips the registration of that application after an error and continues on.
2. Hacked and whacked at the Oracle version, still a lot of work to do.
