Why include daemon backend in the main package?
Main package should be just the library and essential binaries. Daemon 
backend, from my point of view, is not essential. 
Right now I'm using libelektra on an embedded device that is using filesys 
backend and doesn't need 'kdb' as my binaries have direct acces to library 
API. I understand that 'kdb' can/will be useful to query kdb from shell 
scripts. I think that this scenario is the minimal functional scenario, isn't 
it?
Maybe I'm missing some locking issues that make filesys or berkeleydb not 
useful when queried from multiple binaries?

 Yesterday I was reviewing daemon backend code. kdbd backend can be configured 
using a 'configure'  parameter (--with-default-dbackend) which sets 
DEFAULT_DBACKEND preprocessor define. 
Wouldn't be more useful if this parameter could be set using a run time 
parameter or an environment variable? This way could be configured 
using '/etc/default' debian mechanism permitting kdbd's backend selection at 
startup. Does this make sense? I can do the patch if necessary.
