Simpler API for TM-Object Mapping

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using Ontopia as a backend for a Java application requires the usage of an 
API that is more complex than web/JSP.
There are many possible ways of dealing with this problem, and I 
personally favor testing out other paradigms than OO to create a domain 
model from a TM. For example using mixins or a dynamic language as a 
factory, that delivers the objects to your application.

I propose the following tasks:
* Write down the different alternatives, and make an assessment of their 
pros/cons
* Write a simpler for programmatically accessing a TM, lowering the bar 
for using a TM as a backend
* Write a small example
