hi.
i wanted to make a new bsd db4 back-end for alpm. but i never reached my
goal. and will not
all i have is a proof of concept code that use bsd db4 api to store
pmpkg_t and wanted to share it with anyone (interested ?)

i have coded 3 utilities:
- one that converts pacman's db into a bsd db4 file for each repo
- one that reads that new db format to perform query as pacman does
- one that converts directly a tarball db (taken from a sync mirror)
into a bsd db4 file

if this proves useful for someone, great.
