Well.. looks like I'm going to have to write a whole bunch of code to
ensure backward compatibility with versions of python prior to 2.2, as
well as the bsddb1 (currently using bsddb3).

I guess we can't really package it without those additions. Sounds
reasonable enough to make a 0.1.1 then. I'll make those additions, but I
really am not sure of the implications in terms of unicode support.
Python's unicode support was "okay" in 2.1.. but nice by 2.2. This may
(must check first) effect the multiple encodings support.

Debian woody does have a python2.2 pkg. I am not sure about the pybsddb
pkg (http://pybsddb.sourceforge.net).

We can wait till I hack up a ver 0.1.1 with backward compatibility, or
pkg this and do it again with better compatibility.

Your call (since you're doing the work).
