No it wasn't missing :-). ra_dav does not depend on the DB. It depends on
Neon, which talks over to the wire, to code which *does* depend on the DB.

Looking at your checkin, it appears you actually meant ra_local. And yes:
that does have a dependency.

Because we don't feed it .la files, so it can't do the closure (even if it
does). I don't recall why we're giving it .a files instead of .la files.
Need to test that.

Long-standing issue. IMO, we should have always had this. When Jim set up
berkeley-db.m4, he modified LIBS and CPPFLAGS directly. That was a poor
choice because it alters how future autoconf tests operate.

Mo's patch was working in the same area, and I went "woah! that should be
fixed."

This should *always* do the AC_SUBST(). Otherwise, you'll end up with
@SVN_FS_INCLUDES@ and @SVN_DB_LIB@ in the Makefile. If you do the SUBST,
then those forms will be replaced with "" in the Makefile.
