The fact that 4.0 isn't all the common yet I believe is all the more
reason to just require BDB 4.1 and be done with it.

I'm looking at trying to get autoconf to detect the right version of
BDB (need to export some SVN_FS_GOT_DB_MAJOR variants), and getting
the checks just right probably exceeds my amount of free time that I
can dedicate to this.

I realize that you're +0 on requiring 4.1 - do we have enough +1s on
requiring 4.1 that we don't need to keep 4.0 support? Or, does
someone with enough autoconf-fu feel like adding that component to my
patches? Otherwise, it'll have to wait for my schedule to clear a
bit. -- justin
