I should point out that I'm still building against libdb4.2 because I 
don't know what effect upgrading to libdb4.6 would have on packages like 
subversion. Specifically, I don't know if this would require repository 
dumps and reloads if the repository uses bdb.

Also, the ldap, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3 dependencies are for included 
loadable modules; they are not required for the main library. Should I 
include those as dependencies or let other packages that actually use 
the modules declare them?
