LMDB - I already have working patch for Cyrus SASL, the API is modeled
closely after BDB, so the porting shouldn't be hard and Howard is
extremely
helpful and pleasant to deal with in my experience.
I just need to write some tools to dump & import the data from existing
databases. (python-berkeleydb & py-lmdb will come to rescue I guess).
