Cool, thanks.

It'd be great if you could replace the underlying store with something
else.  I wonder, however, if Berkeley DB is the right solution.
Again, because of licensing (or rather pricing) issues.  See my email
to the Elephant mailing list:

Could you describe in a few words which features have to be supported
by an alternative back-end?

Thanks for all on your work on this.
