Summary: bsddb module needs iterators

Initial Comment:
  The hash, btree and record classes should have an iterator defined.  
The current first() and next() functions should make this a fairly 
simple change to bsddbmmodule.c.  This would allow:

  dbh = 
dbhash.open('mydb.db', 'r')
  for key in dbh:
    process(key, 
dbh[key])

and eliminate the temptation to use the following, 
which would be inadvisable for large databases:

  for key in 
dbh.keys():

In what way is this fixed? The test program still does not
work...

This is unlikely to happen. More likely, bsddb will be
deprecated.
