dnl   APU_LIB_BERKELEY_DB(major, minor, patch, places, headers, libnames)
dnl
dnl   Search for a useable version of Berkeley DB in a number of
dnl   common places.  The installed DB must be no older than the
dnl   version given by MAJOR, MINOR, and PATCH.  All of these
dnl   arguments are allowed to be '-1', indicating we don't care.
dnl   PLACES is a list of places to search for a Berkeley DB
dnl   installation.  HEADERS is a list of headers to try.  LIBNAMES
dnl   is a list of names of the library to attempt to link against,
dnl   typically 'db' and 'db4'.
dnl
dnl   If we find a useable version, set CPPFLAGS and LIBS as
dnl   appropriate, and set the shell variable `apu_have_db' to
dnl   `1', and apu_db_lib to the matching lib name, and apu_db_header
dnl   to the header to use.  Otherwise, set `apu_have_db' to `0'.
dnl
dnl   This macro also checks for the `--with-berkeley-db=PATH' flag;
dnl   if given, the macro will use the PATH specified, and the
dnl   configuration script will die if it can't find the library.  If
dnl   the user gives the `--without-berkeley-db' flag, the entire
dnl   search is skipped.
dnl
dnl   We cache the results of individual searches under particular
dnl   prefixes, not the overall result of whether we found Berkeley
dnl   DB.  That way, the user can re-run the configure script with
dnl   different --with-berkeley-db switch values, without interference
dnl   from the cache.

dnl   APU_TRY_BERKELEY_DB(major, minor, patch, header, libname)
dnl
dnl   A subroutine of APU_CHECK_BERKELEY_DB.
dnl
dnl   Check that a new-enough version of Berkeley DB is installed.
dnl   "New enough" means no older than the version given by MAJOR,
dnl   MINOR, and PATCH.  The result of the test is not cached; no
dnl   messages are printed.  Use HEADER as the header file to include.
dnl   Use LIBNAME as the library to link against.
dnl   (e.g. LIBNAME should usually be "db" or "db4".)
dnl
dnl   Set the shell variable `apu_try_berkeley_db' to `yes' if we found
dnl   an appropriate version installed, or `no' otherwise.
dnl
dnl   This macro uses the Berkeley DB library function `db_version' to
dnl   find the version.  If the library installed doesn't have this
dnl   function, then this macro assumes it is too old.

dnl   NOTE: This is pretty messed up.  It seems that the FreeBSD port of
dnl   Berkeley DB 4 puts the header file in /usr/local/include/db4, but the
dnl   database library in /usr/local/lib, as libdb4.[a|so].  There is no
dnl   /usr/local/include/db.h.  So if you check for /usr/local first, you'll
dnl   get the old header file from /usr/include, and the new library from
dnl   /usr/local/lib.  Disaster.  Thus this test compares the version constants
dnl   in the db.h header with the ones returned by db_version().
