I know we're doing it for neon with 1.3.1, but I really dislike changing
any bundled dependencies in a patch release. Keeping that constant makes
it a tad easier to preserve backwards-compatibility in the patch release.
(Technically, we say that dependencies don't play into our version-compat
rules; but we do know that it practically has some effect.)

This does mean that a 1.3.2 w/BDB 4.4 will not work with 1.3.1. Plus, this
also means that an Apache httpd has to be re-built with the new APR so that
mod_dav_svn doesn't freak out.

So, my opinion is that BDB 4.4 is too big of a change for a 'patch'
release.

-1 for 1.3.2 (vote, not veto). -- justin
