SQL Changes

Several DAD SQL changes:

2) to start DAD in SQL mode use the -SQL=sqlini command line option
ex: DAD -SQL=F:\DAD\files\sql.ini -LF:

c:\dad\progs\SQLinit.exe is the utility that converts CodeBase (.dbf) databases into SQL tables. 
4) Verbose debug mode 
5) More efficient startup
6) More efficient use of SQL tables to make large Libraries perform better
