Modified Files:
	whatsnew23.tex 
Log Message:
Add a little more verbiage about the bsddb module/package change.  It's
clear from recent discussions on c.l.py that people are a bit confused about
the differences between the old bsddb, the new bssdb, the bsddb3/PyBSDDB
package and changes to file formats.  Tried to clarify the issues.

  \module{bsddb} package is intended to be compatible with the 
  old module, so be sure to file bugs if you discover any
! incompatibilities.  When upgrading to Python 2.3, if you also change
! the underlying BerkeleyDB library, you will almost certainly have to
! convert your database files to the new version.  You can do this
! fairly easily with the new scripts \file{db2pickle.py} and
! \file{pickle2db.py} which you will find in the distribution's
! Tools/scripts directory.  If you've already been using the PyBSDDB
! package, importing it as \module{bsddb3}, you will have to change your
! \code{import} statements.
