Another way would be db_dump -R but it can easily emit total b*llsh*t
intermixed with actual data.

Bogofilter relies on Berkeley DB and its utilities to handle the data
base, and can only provide what Berkeley DB offers.

An alternative is to use Berkeley DB 4.2 and the TXN branch (from
http://home.pages.de/~mandree/bogofilter/ ) but it's not up to date yet
but three weeks old - based on 0.91.1.
