- From: Heath Kehoe <heath.kehoe@intermec.com>
- "groupsbyname" and "groupstats" databases replaced with "groupinfo".
- ovdb_recover, ovdb_upgrade, and dbprocs are now deprecated; their
  functionality is now in ovdb_init and ovdb_monitor.
- ovdb_init can upgrade a database from the old version of ovdb to
  work with this version.
- Rewrote ovdb_expiregroup(); it can now re-write OV data rather
  than simply deleting old keys (which can leave 'holes' that result
  in inefficient disk-space use).
- Add "nocompact" to ovdb.conf, which controls whether ovdb_expiregroup()
  rewrites OV data.
- No longer needs the BerkeleyDB tools db_archive, db_checkpoint, and
  db_deadlock.  That functionality is now in ovdb_monitor.
- ovdb_open() won't succeed if ovdb_monitor is not running.  This will
  prevent the problems that happen if the database is not regularly
  checkpointed and deadlock-tested.
- Internal group IDs (32-bit ints) are now reused.
- Add "maxlocks" to ovdb.conf, which will set the DB lk_max parameter.
- Pull "test" code out into ovdb_stat.  ovdb_stat will also provide
  functionality similar to the BerkeleyDB "db_stat" command.
- Update docs: man pages for the new ovdb_* commands; update ovdb.pod
