There is nndb which uses Berkely DB I think. It's written in Perl. I
have done a half-assed attempt at providing a backend for it, but I'm
afraid it won't work.
nndb speaks NNTP but groks a couple of additional commands for
deleting and moving messages.
Since NNTP is a protocol well understood by Gnus, that might be an
approach. But I also like the idea of providing a socket-level
interface to the DBMS in Lisp and to then use that.
