/etc/nss_db.conf

What do we need to write in it?  Just the name (or complete path) of
the library which can be passed directly to dbopen?

Since this information is to be used by makedb and by the nss_db
module, it might be good to rearrange files a bit.

Mark, if you like to do this, just tell me.  I would appreciate if
somebody else would develop this ;-).
