hamsterdb: release 0.3.0
This release features significant performance improvements; hamsterdb performs a lot faster in all benchmarks. A new option (HAM_OPTIMIZE_SIZE) creates smaller files by merging freelist entries. (This option comes at the cost of performance, therefore it’s disabled by default.)
The build infrastructure was ported to autoconf/automake. Since autoconf uses special naming conventions, this version is 0.3.0 and not 0.1pre3.
See the CHANGELOG for a detailled list of all changes.

For the next release i will finally port the library to Windows and also to PowerPC-Linux, and make sure that big endian-architectures are supported. Then i will implement iterators and duplicate items.
