Summary: building bsddb3 on FreeBSD

Initial Comment:
FreeBSD's ports of the Sleepcat DB releases use
different naming conventions than currently catered for
in setup.py.
Additionally, the ports collection currently supports
having both DB 4.1 and DB 4.0 installed concurrently.

The current setup.py really only caters for 1 variation
of any major DB version.

The attached patch expands the support so that v4.1 has
the correct include directory on FreeBSD, and allows
for both 4.1 and 4.0 to be concurrently installed.  It
also adds support for DB3 (v3.3.11 in the Ports
collection) on FreeBSD.

I've concluded that the first version of this patch is
unnecessarily complicated.

I've uploaded a simplified second version, which gets the
essentials in place.

Martin, assigned to you as setup.py's history shows you had
a fair bit to do with the bsddb3 module machinery in there
(Skip and Barry have both also worked on this).
