I have derived these classes from the db_list classes. A lot of methods 
have been copied there from underlying classes. Most methods there are 
copies from the db_list methods in different classes with small 
enhancements. In most cases only the BACKPATH is added to the path names.

I want to discuss here the intended changes before I start a work of 
several hours.
I want the methods in the current db_list classes to be extended the 
same way as in the tx_graytree_db_list methods.
