It's pretty straightforward...the interface works like a normal
Dictionary, but you are restricted to byte objects for keys and values
(i.e. String and ByteArray). To force changes to disk, send #commit. I
think there are some good examples in the code. It's not a complete
wrapping of the BerkeleyDB API (for example, I don't support BDB
environments or transactions), but it's good enough to use and it's a
good base from which to add more of the BDB APIs (if you need them).
