The autodbm support wasn't that trivial actually.  It's advantage is
convenience, as DBM comes with Python, and you have to install an
extension module to get CDB.

Lightweight, slightly better performance, more robust under adverse
conditions, a standard interface across platforms, and built-in atomic
database replacement are some advantages that come to mind.

I prefer CDB.  I might not have added DBM support if Python shipped
with a cdb module.
