As I see it there may be several gotchas currently wrt shared
libraries.
a) In making a shared libkdb5 - do we need a shared libdb? Currently we
are relying on the fact that the ndbm and db interface names are the
same - so they are initially resolved - but is this healthy?
b) Under AIX - what happens if you specify that a shared kdb5 depends on
a static db - will you get a valid library? Or will you suck in all the
objects from the static library?
c) Based on (a) and (b) do we need a shared libdb? Should kdb_dbm.c be
rewritten to use libdb directly?
