FreeBSD databases : cdb

A fast lookup database library & utilities

 cdb is a fast, reliable, lightweight package for creating and reading
constant databases. Its database structure provides several features:

* Fast lookups: A successful lookup in a large database normally takes
  just two disk accesses. An unsuccessful lookup takes only one.
* Low overhead: A database uses 2048 bytes, plus 24 bytes per record,
  plus the space for keys and data.
* No random limits: cdb can handle any database up to 4 gigabytes. There
  are no other restrictions; records don't even have to fit into memory.
  Databases are stored in a machine-independent format.
* Fast atomic database replacement: cdbmake can rewrite an entire
  database two orders of magnitude faster than other hashing packages.
* Fast database dumps: cdbdump prints the contents of a database in
  cdbmake-compatible format.

cdb is designed to be used in mission-critical applications like e-mail.
Database replacement is safe against system crashes. Readers don't have
to pause during a rewrite.

Note for developers:  packages that need to read cdb files should
incorporate the necessary portions of the cdb library rather than
relying on an external cdb library. (See WWW)

Update ruby-cdb to 0.5a and kill off patch now incorporated in upstream
repo.  Also fix on amd64 by compiling subport, cdb, with -fPIC.  Given
this is required for other amd64 ports that could potentially link against
cdb, fix this in databases/cdb instead of just ruby-cdb.

Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command;
the ECHO macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if
make(1) is invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to
the echo command.
