It's a flaw of the current built-in tests that they use storage 'bdb' even 
if it is not available.  It should be switched to use 'file'.  This 
applies to the redland bindings too, lots of the example.py and tests 
assume that storage='bdb' is present if you grep the files.

I've also been musing whether to ship sqlite and always have that enabled 
as a default store.  It's a better embedded DB than BDB I think.

Fixed in GIT, thanks
