2.0 ships with the following backends:
back-dnssrv back-ldap back-ldbm back-passwd back-shell back-sql

HEAD comes with additional backends.

Most every one has depencencies on other software.  back-ldbm,
the primary backend, requires a compatible DBM such as BerkeleyDB
or GDBM (see README) be provided.

The tests use back-ldbm.  back-ldbm stores records in
whatever compatible DBM was provided.

There are a number of questions regarding LDBM and compatible
DBMs.

See portable.h.
