I'm sorry if you feel overwhelmed... but I also somewhat confused
since SDBM as such hasn't certainly changed for a while now.

Change 10866 on 2001/06/23 by jhi@alpha 'Misplaced test file; plus Cygwi'
Change 9978 on 2001/05/03 by jhi@alpha 'Remove unused files; noted by S'
Change 8848 on 2001/02/20 by jhi@alpha 'strict-w-proof the ?DBM_File, f'
Change 8837 on 2001/02/18 by jhi@alpha 'Subject: [patch] -Wall cleanup '
Change 8068 on 2000/12/10 by jhi@alpha 'Subject: [PATCH 5.7.0@8047] RE:'

The 10866 was just moving the sdbm.t in place according to the New Test
Scheme; the 9978 was a $^O eq 'cygwin' tweak for the test.
