I think we should test that this is actually true -- i.e., that we can
use BDB 4.1 with a repository built with BDB 4.0 with no problems. Or,
alternatvely, that we can migrate from 4.0 to 4.1 by using just the BDB
utilities db_dump and db_load -- that should be possible, now that we
don't use custom key ordering functions any more.

The patch itself looks fine to me. +1, assuming the above.
