Converting deliver.db from berkely-nosync to skiplist

[Brenden Conte]

Skiplist doesn't have fast lookups?  I admit to not knowing the intricacies 
of the various formats, but i thought skiplist and Berkeley were at least 
comparable, as the opinion i've seen has been that skiplist is better, 
especially when encountering corruption with berkeley.

Also, that is not an option, since i wish not to get woken up every other 
night because mail isn't being delivered due to this problem.
