No. AFAIR, Andrew Kuchling did some work on completing the module, and
un-swigging it. That was not really completed, and other things became
more important.

Supporting multiple bsddb versions is best done with different bsddb
modules - the system has changed significantly over time. Even
simultaneous support for 3.0 and 3.1 is difficult.
