If I hadn't made the initial mistake of naming pybsddb's module bsddb3
when i first extended robin's berkeleydb 2.x module to work with 3.0 I
would agree with that name.  I worry that having a module named bsddb2
might cause endless confusion as bsddb and bsddb3 already exist and did
correlate to the version number.  How about 'berkeleydb'?
