I tried this, via:

   ../src/configure --with-cc=gcc --with-aname-db=db --with-kdb-db=db

When linking v4kadmind in kadmin.v4/server, the link fails with
undefined references to dbm_open and dbm_fetch.  Apparently the v4
support code is not setup to handle the builtin "db" routines which are
named "db_dbm_open" and "db_dbm_fetch".

Did I miss something in the install notes saying that v4 has to use real
ndbm, or is this a configure problem.  The kadm_funcs.c file doesn't use
any #ifdef's to check for builtin db usage.

Thanks.
