Initial pull

There appears to be a large expectation of environment which is not actually present in the code.

- Add Makefile for my convenience
- Alter composer.json to reference fork/branched repositories; add database, persistent-object dependencies
- Support database table prefix
- Mark an obsolete test as incomplete
- Add some setup steps and supporting methods. Large sections seem to be missing from the code and were possibly present in parent classes
- Marked tests which fail on sqlite as incomplete
- For some reason the XML to database round trip tends to swap lines here and there. I added allowance for that in the tests
