BerkeleyDB 3.3 through 4.5 are supported. 4.6 support has been checked
in and 4.7 (not yet released) support is supposedly on its way from
someone at oracle.
Versions older than 3.3 are too difficult (and too buggy) to support.
You're on your own if you want

Bringing attachment inline here:
The Python manual for module 'bsddb'says it requires a Berkeley DB
library 3.3 - 4.4. But the build tools do not check this. If that's
the requirement, they should.
Instead, I see in _bsddb
