attempts to find a path of trust from a to b in the key database. I
started work on it because at the time there was no DFSG compliant
server that supported multiple subkeys and could act as a drop in
-replacement for pksd, which I was running (and still am).

-Currently there is support for 5 different database backends:
+Currently there is support for 6 different database backends:
* file
The original backend. Very simple and ideal for testing. Stores each
with a large number of keys. This may well be due to my use of it - if
you can help speed it up info would be appreciated.
-* db2 (Berkeley libdb2)
- Only added to provide the ability to run the pathfinder with a key
- database produced by pksd. Currently only supports pulling keys out by
- keyid - no key updating or searching by key test. Found to be
- tempramental and prone to deadlock in the db2 library.
-
* db4 (Berkeley libdb4)
The currently preferred backend. Supports the full range of functions
like the pg backend but is considerably faster. Also easier to setup
subkey searching). Needs a good filesystem to get good performance
though as it creates many, many files and links.
+* hkp
+ A proxying backend. No keys are stored locally; all fetch and store
+ requests are forwarded to the provided keyserver.
