Matthias,

Being able to support different databases was definitely in Gyepi's 
thoughts as he wrote the original versions of datastore.h and 
datastore_db.c files.  With that start and the power of configure, we're 
golden :-)

All we're lacking is brave souls yearning to create the interface between 
bogofilter and their favorite database.
