	Hi,
you are right, they are different formats.

Correct again, it happened few years ago.

Correct again, it's used only as a way to migrate old (BerkeleyDB)
format to the new format (SQLite3). The libdb dependency is optional,
the eds can be built without it.

By the way, why do you want to know such low-level thing, please?
