Right about ... now!

OK, basic functionality is working:
* You can review versions of a page, it will merge your other reviews
into it where you leave it on "no opinion".
* There's statistics per page, page revision, user, user per page

What's not (yet) working:
* A "real" page for review (currently, it's only in the sidebar). Do we
need that?
* A checkbox where you can turn off merging (which is the only way to
blank your review again:-) Simple, but I'm too tired right now...
* Merging is done even when you review an older version than the last
one you reviewed. So, you have reviewed version #100 already, now you
review version #5. Your review of version #100 gets merged into that of
#10 and deleted. This behaviour might actually make sense, though.

All these are easy to fix, though.

Now with "X-Files paranoia level" :-)
