It now occurs to me that the distinction which I'm really making is
between persistent TDB files and temporary TDB files.  And via the FHS
support, this distinction has already been made using the STATEDIR and
CACHEDIR parameters.

For now you can disregard the previous patch and RFC as I investigate if
the FHS implementation will fulfill my need.

Thanks,
