public class VirtualList
extends java.util.AbstractList

An implementation of List which uses a btree database as a backing store. This allows arrays which which not otherwise fit in memory. To use a Virtual List:

1. First create it with VirtualList(String name). This will create a btree database with the given name to hold the list elements.
2. After an entry changes, call VirtualList.changed(index) to ensure that the changed version is written out to the repository.
3. When done, call VirtualArray.delete() to delete the backing repository

Note that objects in the list must be Streamable.
