DBF reader and writer -- selective fields and nullreplace (Python)

(<a href="/recipes/tags/database/">database</a>).
</p>
<p>This fork assumes a desire for limited selection of field names. With
huge files this might be necessary on some machines.</p>
<p>Also, assuming that the meaning of null in a dbf file means zero might
be a mistake, so the fork adds an argument nullreplace as way to
choose what to replace null with. Null is sometimes used to mean
missing value. This change is decoupled from the selective names
feature.</p>
