What about them?  If people want to make the default to be no db4
on those, they can do that.  I think it's silly, though; i only
agree with doing it on NetBSD/powerpc because db4 is simply
broken there.

We have already discussed this on tech-pkg.  If the user already
has apr installed when he goes to build subversion-base and using
db4 is not the default, the build will fail.
