Neither do I (it wasn't my idea). But nobody objected, so ...

You have a point. O.K., we'll do it like this:

    * revert this patch;
    * require that people unpack the binary distribution of Berkeley DB
      into the root of the Subversion tree (so we use
      <repo>/db-3.3.11-win32/include and <repo>/db-3.3.11-win32/lib)
    * change the .dsps again

This means that people who want to build Berkeley DB themselves must
copy the files into the appropriate directories. That's O.K., as far as
I'm concerned. I might even provide a script to do that.

If I hear no objections, I'll do that today (local time -- after I get
some sleep).
