I just did a quick poke around the svn repository and I think you're
right. IIRC, they were cvs rm'd quite a while ago, so it's possible
they can be resurrected with the right Subversion magic.  I wouldn't
put much faith in them though -- does anybody (other than
Sleepycat^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HOracle) really know how to write robust
and reliable BDB systems? ;)
