FWIW, Ty and I talked about using a daemonic thread in BerkeleyStorage to
run periodic checkpoints and purge logfiles.  AFAIK, backups of BerkeleyDB
require only that you make a copy of all the associated files.  Recovery's
a bit trickier, of course.  (We never got around to implementing it because
our tests showed that BerkeleyDB didn't solve the performance issue we were
trying to solve.  So we quit working on it at that point.)
