Mailman ".db" files, despite the name, are *not* Berkeley DB files.
They are Python marshall files.  (In Mailman 2.1, they will be called
".pck" and become Python pickle files.)

In any event, I'm pretty sure they are platform independent.

Also, since when are Berkeley DB files platform-dependent?
