dbm_* manpages for review
-hackers, Tim Singletary has written some man pages for the dbm_* functions in libc, which are currently undocumented -- we know they are written in terms of dbopen(), but it's nice to have them documented anyway. Could anyone who knows anything about DBM take a look at docs/12557 and let me know if they are correct? If they are, I'll commit them.
