Ah, it looks much simpler than I thought; there's one C file, so
adding the C code is just a matter of dropping db_wrap.c into Modules,
and adding the single line in the package's Setup.in to
Modules/Setup.in.  There are a bunch of *.py files, though; might it
be worth creating a subpackage for BerkeleyDB in order to keep from
cluttering up the library root?  db_wrap.c is also an obscure name,
and it would be nice to change it.
