Changed LOAD-OPTION to use database in separate file(s):

Features:

 . No longer need to rebuild bands to make options available.
 . The database is re-read so new options become available without
   restarting Scheme.
 . Option databases have a `parent' field (like an environment frame)
   which allows the database to be tiered.
 . The databse format (s-expression) is documented in options.db
