As of today, MS Windows is not supported in current berkeleydb bindings. 
If you could help out with it, I could reintroduce it. I can not support 
MS Windows by myself.

Relevant to this, current BerkeleyDB can be compiled against a 
particular (modern) version of Python and reuse the same binary in 
future Python releases!!!. Would be nice to distribute binaries for 
Windows, because most users would not be able to compile it by themselves.

So, would you like to work together on this?
