Sorry, I do mean 0.1 (with Dulcinea 0.2).

Aha.  That file doesn't seem to be in my copy.  In fact, there's no bin
directory at all in this tarball:

http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/files/toboso/Toboso-0.1.tar.gz

Which is linked to from here:

I don't think so: base._open_database() just calls
dulcinea.database.ObjectDatabase.open(), and I grepped Dulcinea for
'user_db', so I'm pretty confident it's not set from there.
