db4 backend alternative

[Mark Hannessen]

well, db4 was the default... so I thought....
a well, you got the picture :p

anyways I am using skiplist now, and so far so good.
but this entire thing does keep me wondering why skiplist isn't the 
default..

anyway, A big thanks to all you people out there.
