Bundling SKS+BDB (previously suggested) avoids the
very hard to solve problem of "system" Berkeley DB.

Backports of newer Berkeley DB "work" too, and likely
have some other usage cases than SKS because of bdb+sqlite3 API.

Not that there is much SKS need for db-5.x.y: any BDB later than db-4.6
is gud enuf for SKS (until "system" db changes for other reasons).
