It looks like it can relatively easily ported to newer libdb4.4 with
only some additional NULL arguments to some DB->open calls.
The things that until now have hold me back are:
- there is no libdb-4.* in woody.
- database files modified with libdb-4.4 may be unreadable
with libdb3
- I've worked around so many quirks in libdb3 that I am
afraid what new ones they implemented for the ones
they fixed.
Especially the second point is important to me. I'll do some more
research if it at least fails gracefully in such cases.
