Howard about how best to do it... :) The CyrusDB abstraction layer allows
opening multiple databases by filename. Should we be opening one environment
per file, or just a single environment per process? Looking at:

The preferred usage model is to use a single environment per process. It 
simplifies choosing the env mapsize, just use one very large number. With 
individual environments per file, you are required to think about how big each 
file can be relative to each other. Better to avoid that complexity.

so I'd add that for the LMDB backend as well. I just use a linked list, since
we tend to have at most 3-4 databases open at once in each process.
