Actually, "-ldb" should be the old 1.85 Berkeley DB library that's
bundled with libc, I think?

I link against -ldb3 or -ldb-3.2 at the moment. It's definitely a hack,
although it's a hack from Sleepycat.

I sent a proposed patch to update Sleepycat DB to 3.2.9 earlier to
ports@, while no-one commented on it except that the Java port isn't
even supposed to work (which is reasonable because I focused on Java
in my mail); while the Java port is broken, for me the patch
works. Note that you need to apply it with the -p1 flag to patch,
while usually things are patched with -p0.

I'm bound to have messed up something even with this small fix, but
you have to start somewhere, and I did try to look hard at it and
even squint. Time will improve matters, I'm sure.
