Tokyo Cabinet support was added to ext/dba "recently".. but Tokyo Cabinet is about to die these days, and getting replaced with Kyoto Cabinet. Shouldn't we drop tokyo cabinet support, before we ever make a stable release with it, so we don't have to maintain it? Preferably replace it with Kyoto Cabinet support I suppose.

Is it actually dead? [1] still states: "I'll maintain the both of Tokyo Cabinet and Kyoto Cabinet because their values are different", as well as noting that Tokyo Cabinet is quicker in the single-threaded case. Given that both are maintained, as far as I can tell, as Tokyo Cabinet is quicker in the single-threaded case, as most PHP applications are, there is no reason to remove it. All for adding Kyoto Cabinet support, though. /gsnedders [1]: http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/spex.html
