Olav, I implemented that yesterday, but it is disabled by default.

To ~/.lgorc, you should add:
  symbols_dbm_filepath = '/path/to/libgo-api'

libgo will then create /path/to/libgo-api.db (python dbm module
automatically adds .db).

You will have to setup the virtual host with sth like this:
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteMap symbolsmap dbm:/path/to/libgo-api.db
  
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=(.*)$
  RewriteRule ^/api/lookup ${symbolsmap:%1}? [R,NE,L]
  
  RewriteRule ^/api/(.*) ${symbolsmap:$1} [R,NE,L]

I deployed this on my test server,
  http://lgo.0d.be/api/PANGO_VERSION
(libgo-api.db is around 5 Mb).

And I also added a form to http://lgo.0d.be/devel/api .
