I mean :
For instance, nothing is deleted in MARC-DB. And you can't delete from 
MARC view of the biblio. That's trully a problem :-)
I plan to :
* write MARCdelbiblio & MARCdelitem
* write NEWdelbiblio & NEWdelitem
* modify OLDdelbiblio & OLDdelitem to delete MARC stuff too
* add a column (blob) in deletedbiblio => the MARC version of the biblio 
will be stored in this field. Same for items.
