cdbkeys is D.J. Bernstein's cdbdump.c with a few parts taken out.
Users can already use cdbdump, since the cdb distribution is included
in the integrit distribution.

I think your right, though, that a tool to let users look inside an
integrit database might be useful.  

integrit could put some of its functions in a library, libintegrit.a.
A small standalone program could use the functions in the library to
create readable dumps of integrit's databases.

Your extensions are clearly written and greatly enhance the
functionality of the viewreport example.  Thank you!
