  Add some notes to cleanup later
................

Not all code has been fixed yet; this is just a checkpoint...
The C API still has PyDict_HasKey() and _HasKeyString(); not sure
if I want to change those just yet.

Probably should be backported.

restricted to the whichdb module

command line for Windows builds.  This should allow MSVC to import and
build the Python MSVC6 project files without error.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

closes SF #514433

can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.

docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.

Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

Please review for correctness.
