The idea is that the canonical wallet format for bitcoin has been a db48
file for ever.  They have a new format in the works (it may even be there
already) but they will need to be able to read db48 files for a long time.
It is the wallet, the thing you have put your money in, the thing you may
have stored someplace and you almost never access.
