The port works around the problem by manually replacing all occurrences
of "-ldb" with "-ldb4" in the Makefile (or something similar.)

Someone mentioned a while ago that apr-util has to find DB4 and manages
to do it on FreeBSD, so we should just use apr-util's stuff.
Unfortunately apr-util also has checks for other DB libraries mixed in
with that, but I immagine it shouldn't be too difficult to extract the
necessary magic from apr-util and insert it into Subversion.
