Hi Steffen,

indeed no Git yet, real-life work went crazy last autumn as in really
crazy, so I pushed everything back quite a bit.

Thanks for proactively maintaining and catching up your LMDB support so
we can refine it!
However, can I ask you to resend the patch without the many
reformattings? There's a lot of

foo *     ->    foo*

reformatting going on that obscures the actual change.

And yes, a new release is planned, but not all changes that I feel are
needed are in yet.

Thanks again!

Best,
Matthias
