   Any information on what ways these are "better" than Berkeley DB? Any
pointers, at least?
   One advatntage of BSDDB is portability. Yes, I know, Gadfly can be used
on every python platform, but what about speed? memory consuming? (at least
for those simple queries that BSDDB can do, i.e. string-to-string mapping).
