This patch publishes the work done until now
for Python 3.0 compatibility. Still a lot
to be done.
When possible, we use 3.0 features in Python 2.6,
easing development and testing, and exposing internal
changes to a wider audience, for better test coverage.
Some mode details:

not appear to be a new bug, its just that the test coverage went up
recently exposing it. (I verified that by testing this test code on
an older Modules/_bsddb.c)
run the test simultaneously. The simplest thing I found that worked
on both Windows and Unix was to use the PID. It's unique so should be
sufficient. This should prevent many of the spurious failures of
the automated tests since they run as different users.
Also cleanup the directory consistenly in the tearDown methods.
It would be nice if someone ensured that the directories are always
created with a consistent name.
features in BerkeleyDB not exposed. notably: the DB_MPOOLFILE interface
has not yet been wrapped in an object.
Adds support for building and installing bsddb3 in python2.3 that has
an older version of this module installed as bsddb without conflicts.
The pybsddb.sf.net build/packaged version of the module uses a
dynamicly loadable module called _pybsddb rather than _bsddb.
