Summary: Deprecate bsddb
Initial Comment:
Large numbers of inserts break bsddb, as first
discovered in Python 1.5 (bug 408271).
According to Barry Warsaw, "trying to get the bsddb
module that comes with Python to work is a hopeless
cause."
If it's broken, let's discourage people from using it.
In particular, let's ensure that people importing
shelve or anydbm don't end up using it by default.
The submitted patch adds a DeprecationWarning to the
bsddb module and removes bsddb from the list of db
module candidates in anydbm.

I'm in favour of this change, but I'd like simultaneously
incorporate bsddb3.
