[pybsddb] Windows support for berkeleydb

[Brian Matthews]

Hi,

   Patch file for git attached.


To build:

Copy the Oracle Berkeley db to ./db in the root of 18.1.11


I am using Python 3.12 built with VS2019

set YES_I_HAVE_THE_RIGHT_TO_USE_THIS_BERKELEY_DB_VERSION=1
python setup.py build

The diff contains changes for building (setup3.py)
It also contains a change for src/Module/berkeleydb.c
This changes allow the encryption password to be either a string, or a byte string.
Bsddb3 used to allow binary keys. This restores that ability.

Regards

Brian

Send me your patch, and maybe some instructions for other people being able to replicate it.

In fact, if you compile it under Python 3.9, that binary SHOULD work in any future Python version!. Would you mind to post it somewhere public?.

With a bit of work we could provide wheels for PyPI...

The key point is that I would be graceful to support Windows, but I would need to be able to provide binaries, maybe thru some external help or a Windows build service...
