	Using order of:
		-lndbm -ldb -lgdbm
	should work equally well, but apparently it didn't ?

	Ok, generally speaking the problem is that both the DB, and the
	GDBM have NDBM-like compability routines in them, which does
	complicate things considerably.

	To top it off, any/all of these can be in the system libc too..
	The 'configure.in' source has following comment, which I added
	after one instance of juggling these libraries around:

# GDBM must be last as if we have LIBDB at the system instead of real
# LIBNDBM, we still have ndbm routines, but want to use (likely)
# ones from LIBDB instead of LIBGDBM...

	Any comments ?
	(If you want to edit the  'configure.in', you do need GNU
	 autoconf-2.12 package to regenerate the 'configure' script.)
