[ZODB-Dev] custom mount point container type

[Jim Fulton]

Please note that this is the wrong list for this discussion.
The ZODBMountPoint thing is in Zope.

I will note though that before doing anything new in this area, you
should take a look at the multi-database support in ZODB 3.5 
and later.
