CFEngine is a similar project that would undoubtedly benefit from the 
use of MDB - it's a lightweight, C program, to apply configuration 
automatically to many servers across many operating systems and 
architectures. They have use BerkeleyDB in the past, but abandoned it 
for TokyoCabinet, although I know not all users are happy about that...

See http://www.cfengine.com and 
https://github.com/cfengine/core/blob/master/src/dbm_tokyocab.c for the 
source implementation of the TokyoCabinet usage.
