At the moment I do have some time available. One can't think about packing |
| 13 |
stuff all the time (We're moving to Hobart, Australia early of April, as soon |
| 14 |
as the visa's are aranged). The library problem is complicated though. |

I could look at a static version though guarded by a useflag. The biggest |
| 17 |
problem though is that berkdb is not easy on version changes. Things tend to |
| 18 |
break when the used version changes. One might actually look at checking the |
| 19 |
actual version used and using big fat warnings if that changes. |

The static version is probably better as it protects against the berkeley db |
| 22 |
version used just disappearing from below. And breaking an authentication |
| 23 |
system really sucks (as in not being able to log in). |
