Of course, we can. What we are proposing don't change the API for libdb, ju=
st
uses it in other way. On the other side, separating indexes from the data,
makes our indexed files looks like relative files, so they will be much mor=

portable than they are now. Please run test.code/tdb01 and then look at the
generated files (dbdat and dbdat.ndx).=20
