Librep requires GDBM. GDBM is not in the athena or aui trees (it is
installed in gnu). I can, in increasing level of difficulty:
* Install GDBM
* Hack up C stubs to translate GDBM calls to DB2 or DB3 calls
* Make librep take a generic unix dbm.
Anyone more familiar with release realities want to make a suggestion?
I don't like the idea of burning lots of time hacking librep, but I
also don't like the idea of increasing the number of libraries in the
build.
