Cut and run!
Crap, crap crap!
The _requests_tests.py script is now housed in tests/ and is copied to the config file directory when setup-app is called.  Also, the config template file now uses SQLite and host=127.0.0.1 by default.  Finally, the dependencies were reconfigured in setup.py so that easy_install onlinelinguisticdatabase will work out of the box (Pylons 1.0, WebOb 1.1.1, FormEncode 1.2.4).
