I plan to write an extension to Pike that uses tdb - it should be used as a
shared library in that case. The upstream sources generate a well working
.so, so I thought it might be nice to have it in Debian. Also, there might
be some code in Caudium that will also use tdb. I'm sure more people would
use it as well.
