I went ahead and compiled bsddb3 and added it to my repository.  The 
version of bsddb in Jack's distribution of MacPython 2.3 is incomplete 
(not functional), because it is missing _bsddb.so.  My bsddb package 
consists of *only* _bsddb.so, which gets installed into site-packages 
so that the existing bsddb python package will find it.  I did it this 
way because sys.path puts site-packages *after* standard library, so 
it's not possible to override the python bits of it through standard 
means.  A _bsddb.so anywhere on sys.path does make the existing bsddb 
python package work.

_bsddb.so is linked statically with BerkeleyDB 4.1, so it has no 
additional dependencies.
