Watch out if you use the --config-cache switch. We cache where we find (or
don't find) DB. So if you have a cache that says it doesn't exist somewhere,
then you install it, then rerun config -- it won't find it. Gotta wipe the
cache, or just not use it.

If you're going to install it separately, then I don't think you should
locate the thing in the db/ subdirectory.

This latter issue is what got me when I set up my new box at work. I had
forgotten to add it to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig first. When configure
tried to link against the library to check its version... blam! No workie.
So configure assumed the library wasn't there after all.
