New submission from Skip Montanaro <skip at pobox.com>:
Fixing issue4483 resulted in adding an extra header file check for
gdbm-based header files when the gdbm library was found. This caused
problems for Roumen Petrov. In considering the problems he encountered I
decided we probably need to provide users some more flexibility when
deciding which libraries and header files to use when building the dbm
module (or _dbm on 3.0). For example, the current hard-coded perform checks
in this order: ndbm, gdbm, BerkDB. What if the system has hdbm installed
but the builder wants to use the BerkDB compatibility API?
This ticket is to track the discussion and come up with a suitable system.
