Log:
INSTALL: Rewrite section about Berkeley DB dependency.
* INSTALL:
("Dependencies in Detail" -- "Berkeley DB") Add "DEPRECATED" to the
title of the bullet point. Rewrite the paragraph to (hopefully)
make it more clear. Rationale: Avoid having to read a long
paragraph only to find out at the end that BDB is deprecated.

- There are two different repository 'back-end'
- implementations. One implementation stores data in a flat
- filesystem (known as FSFS); the other implementation stores
- data in a Berkeley DB database (known as BDB). When you
- create a repository, you have the option of specifying a

- time. The Berkeley DB back-end has been deprecated and
- is not recommend.
