I was used to it some time ago, but then it suddenly stopped working for me :( 
I guess that some kind of berkeley db update was the reason.
The db engine is very unstable and as such not very useful in it's current 
state. IMO it needs a volunteer (which is not me -> missing programming 
skills).

When the db engine was working for me, it was very useful and i used it on a 
daily basis with several different DBs for different projects (LFS, KDE 
branch and trunk and Licq). The db engine made it possible to use the diff 
mode in a efficient and fast way. (compared to the file-diff mode, which is 
horribly slow and often eats 100% CPU).

So i for myself would appreciate a more stable db engine very much!

Cheers,
Thomas
