Synopsis: %(prog)s [-h|-b|-r|-a|-d] dbfile [ picklefile ]
Read the given picklefile as a series of key/value pairs and write to a new
-bsddb database. If the database already exists, any contents are deleted.
-The optional flags indicate the type of the database (bsddb hash, bsddb
-btree, bsddb recno, anydbm, dbm). The default is hash. If a pickle file is
-named it is opened for read access. If no pickle file is named, the pickle
-input is read from standard input.

Note that recno databases can only contain numeric keys, so you can't dump a
hash or btree database using db2pickle.py and reconstitute it to a recno
