///
/// This class comprises nothing but static methods used to create a lease
/// manager.  It analyzes the database information passed to the creation
/// function and instantiates an appropriate lease manager based on the type
/// requested.
///
/// Strictly speaking these functions could be stand-alone functions.  However,
/// it is convenient to encapsulate them in a class for naming purposes.
///
/// @todo: Will need to develop some form of registration mechanism for
///        user-supplied backends (so that there is no need to modify the code).

    /// Each database backend has its own lease manager type.  This static
    /// method sets the "current" lease manager to be a manager of the
    /// appropriate type.  The actual lease manager is returned by the
    /// "instance" method.
    ///
    /// @note When called, the current lease manager is <b>always</b> destroyed
    ///       and a new one created - even if the parameters are the same.
    ///
    /// dbaccess is a generic way of passing parameters. Parameters are passed
    /// in the "name=value" format, separated by spaces.  The data MUST include
    /// a keyword/value pair of the form "type=dbtype" giving the database
    /// type, e.q. "mysql" or "sqlite3".
    ///
    /// @param dbaccess Database access parameters.  These are in the form of
    ///        "keyword=value" pairs, separated by spaces. They are backend-
    ///        -end specific, although must include the "type" keyword which
    ///        gives the backend in use.
