-_bsddb
-    To use the version of bsddb that Python is built with by default, invoke
-    (in the dist directory)
-
-     svn export http://svn.python.org/projects/external/db-4.4.20
-
-
-    Then open a VS.NET 2003 shell, and invoke:
-
-       devenv db-4.4.20\build_win32\Berkeley_DB.sln /build Release /project db_static
-
-    and do that a second time for a Debug build too:
-
-       devenv db-4.4.20\build_win32\Berkeley_DB.sln /build Debug /project db_static
-
-    Alternatively, if you want to start with the original sources,
-    go to Sleepycat's download page:
-        http://www.sleepycat.com/downloads/releasehistorybdb.html
-
-    and download version 4.4.20.
-
-    With or without strong cryptography? You can choose either with or
-    without strong cryptography, as per the instructions below.  By
-    default, Python is built and distributed WITHOUT strong crypto.
-
-    Unpack the sources; if you downloaded the non-crypto version, rename
-    the directory from db-4.4.20.NC to db-4.4.20.
-
-    Now apply any patches that apply to your version.
-
-    Open
-        dist\db-4.4.20\docs\index.html
-
-    and follow the "Windows->Building Berkeley DB with Visual C++ .NET"
-    instructions for building the Sleepycat
-    software.  Note that Berkeley_DB.dsw is in the build_win32 subdirectory.
-    Build the "db_static" project, for "Release" mode.
-
-    To run extensive tests, pass "-u bsddb" to regrtest.py.  test_bsddb3.py
-    is then enabled.  Running in verbose mode may be helpful.
-
-    XXX The test_bsddb3 tests don't always pass, on Windows (according to
-    XXX me) or on Linux (according to Barry).  (I had much better luck
-    XXX on Win2K than on Win98SE.)  The common failure mode across platforms
-    XXX is
-    XXX     DBAgainError: (11, 'Resource temporarily unavailable -- unable
-    XXX                         to join the environment')

-    XXX I'm told that DBLockDeadlockError is expected at times.  It
-    XXX doesn't cause a test to fail when it happens (exceptions in

-    Building for Win64:
-    - open a VS.NET 2003 command prompt
-    - run the SDK setenv.cmd script, passing /RETAIL and the target
-      architecture (/SRV64 for Itanium, /X64 for AMD64)
-    - build BerkeleyDB with the solution configuration matching the
-      target ("Release IA64" for Itanium, "Release AMD64" for AMD64), e.g.
-    devenv db-4.4.20\build_win32\Berkeley_DB.sln /build "Release AMD64" /project db_static /useenv
