Some may be available now.
I was checking for possible libs after Christoph's enablement commit last week. At least qdbm looks like possible to be supported. The bundled libcdb is quite old. There are no new releases, but some patches might be available, need to check. Some Tokyo Cabinet ports did exist, but again need research. Closer to the end of the year, time could be taken to do the research and tests, so maybe to support more of dba in 7.2.
