Berkeley DB an Emacs

[Kevin A. Burton]

Has anyone done any work to port/integrate berkeley DB within Emacs?

I'm thinking of spending some time building a symbol cross reference 
system within Emacs but need a decent database backend.

Berkeley DB would be perfect and the GPL license fits.

Also, as an aside - can Emacs do dynamic linking to native libraries?   
It would be a good way to build external C packages without having to 
actually recompile my whole Emacs.

I've spent some time on this before but it just didn't seem possible.
