[pybsddb] Windows support for berkeleydb

[Brian Matthews]

Hi,

   Yes I can help with that. I did make some changes to setup3.py to get it to build with Python 3.12.5 and Oracle BDB 18.1.40 using VS2019

So I have it installed and running right now.

Let me know what you need from me

Brian

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?
