+=head2 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS
+Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
+an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
+flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
+detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
+tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
+filename and BDB was built for unicode support.
 =head2 BERKELEYDB FUNCTIONS
 All of these are functions. The create functions simply return a new
-object and never block. All the remaining functions all take an optional
+object and never block. All the remaining functions take an optional
 callback as last argument. If it is missing, then the function will be
 executed synchronously. In both cases, C<$!> will reflect the return value
 of the function.
 BDB functions that cannot block (mostly functions that manipulate
 settings) are method calls on the relevant objects, so the rule of thumb
-is: if its a method, its not blocking, if its a function, it takes a
+is: if it's a method, it's not blocking, if it's a function, it takes a
 callback as last argument.
 In the following, C<$int> signifies an integer return value,
-C<octetstring> is a "binary string" (i.e. a perl string with no character
+C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows),
-indices >255), C<U32> is an unsigned 32 bit integer, C<int> is some

+floating point value.
-The C<SV *> types are generic perl scalars (for input and output of data
+Most C<SV *> types are generic perl scalars (for input and output of data
-values), and the C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call
+values).
-when the request is completed.
 The various C<DB_ENV> etc. arguments are handles return by
 C<db_env_create>, C<db_create>, C<txn_begin> and so on. If they have an
 appended C<_ornull> this means they are optional and you can pass C<undef>
 for them, resulting a NULL pointer on the C level.
+The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the
+request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback
+is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments
+before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left
+out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed
+synchronously.
+For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer
+arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call
+to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a
+callback to be called:
+   db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { };
+   db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { };
+   db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { };
+While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be
+executed synchronously:
+   db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef;
+   db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0;
+   db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0;

 is given, use C<$!>.

+should be able to get a bdb error string by simply stringifying C<$!>.
 =item $fileno = BDB::poll_fileno
 Return the I<request result pipe file descriptor>. This filehandle must be
 polled for reading by some mechanism outside this module (e.g. Event or
 select, see below or the SYNOPSIS). If the pipe becomes readable you have

+=head3 VERSION CHECKING
+BerkeleyDB comes in various versions, many of them have minor
+incompatibilities. This means that traditional "at least version x.x"
+checks are often not sufficient.
+Example: set the log_autoremove option in a way compatible with <v4.7 and
+v4.7. Note the use of & on the constants to avoid triggering a compiletime
+bug when the symbol isn't available.

+=over 4
+=item BDB::VERSION
+The C<BDB::VERSION> function, when called without arguments, returns the
+Berkeley DB version as a v-string (usually with 3 components). You should
+use C<lt> and C<ge> operators exclusively to make comparisons.
+Example: check for at least version 4.7.
+   BDB::VERSION ge v4.7 or die;
+=item BDB::VERSION min-version
+Returns true if the BDB version is at least the given version (specified
+as a v-string), false otherwise.
+Example: check for at least version 4.5.
+   BDB::VERSION v4.7 or die;
+=item BDB::VERSION min-version, max-version
+Returns true of the BDB version is at least version C<min-version> (specify C<undef> or C<v0> for any minimum version)
+and less then C<max-version>.
+Example: check wether version is strictly less then v4.7.
+   BDB::VERSION v0, v4.7
+      or die "version 4.7 is not yet supported";

 explicit callback. It has to return two code references. The first is used
-as the request callback, and the second is called to wait until the first
+as the request callback (it should save the return status), and the second
+is called to wait until the first callback has been called (it must set

+The default implementation works like this:
    sub {

          sub { $status = $! },
          sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status },
       )

+It simply blocks the process till the request has finished and then sets

+BDB will simply fall back to synchronous operations.
