	Actually it is NOT ndbm, it is DB, and as such, it is not
	properly integrated...  But I can give you support for the
	ndbm emulation mode by a new configure script.
	(It needs more code to do full support)

Auch, that error report is negated a bit.  Now it is:
- a non-fatal message
- tells something like:
  Has <ndbm.h>, but dbm_open() is not at libc, libndbm, nor at libdb ??

	Perhaps.  That gave me some ideas..
	I will soon announce the availability of the 'configure' script.
