List database types supported

makemap command-line switch

The -l switch tells makemap to print a list of the database types it supports, then exit. The largest list, and the most types that makemap can support, will look like this:

 dbm   makemap compiled with NDBM defined  hash   makemap compiled with NEWDB defined  btree   makemap compiled with NEWDB defined  

If in doubt, run makemap with this switch before trying to create a database file.
