Synopsis: %(prog)s [-h|-g|-b|-r|-a] dbfile [ picklefile ]

Convert the database file given on the command line to a pickle
representation.  The optional flags indicate the type of the database:

    -a - open using anydbm
    -b - open as bsddb btree file
    -d - open as dbm file
    -g - open as gdbm file
    -h - open as bsddb hash file
    -r - open as bsddb recno file

The default is hash.  If a pickle file is named it is opened for write
access (deleting any existing data).  If no pickle file is named, the pickle
output is written to standard output.
