[JDEV] Scaling 1.4.2 with xdb_file... And the patch

[Mike Prince]

I solved my own problem.  I added support for directory fanout below the
spool directory (isn't open source wonderful).

I've included the patched xdb_file for those stuck in 1.4.2 land and are
so inclined.  To use the patch just drop in it and compile.  It WILL NOT
reorg your existing file store (you'll have to write a script to move
the files around).  The new directory is arranged as
./spool/hostname/m/me/mike.xml where the first fanout directory under
hostname is the first character of the username, and the second fanout
directory is the first and the last characters of the username.  Pretty
simple.

Thanks,

Mike
