[ome-users] deleting datasets

[Ilya Goldberg]

Hi Dennis
Yes, I'm afraid its true.  The MEX deletion is the root of all things  
and the hardest thing to implement, so the idea was that other things  
that need deleting would just wrap the MEX deletion by first finding  
the list of MEXes that are dependent on them, deleteing the MEXes  
with what's already implemented and finally deleting the object(s)  
itself.  The DB is all constrained up the wazoo, so it will complain  
loudly if anything was missed.

Sadly nobody's stepped up to expand this little utility, and I  
haven't had the time.
I'm not detecting a hint of volunteerism, am I?

Anyway, one of these things that will be gotten to in due course  
unless someone gets to it first.
