G'day,

I've come across several packages that require and check for Berkely DB
libraries see below:

checking for main in -ldb-4.0... no
checking for main in -ldb-3.3... no
checking for main in -ldb-3.2... no
checking for main in -ldb-3.1... no

The Berkeley DB libraries in pkgsrc/databases/db{3,4} are not recognized
by the applications configure script as libdb4 <> libdb-4.0

Is there an easy way to work around this withoug the need of hacking
the configure script?
