I agree. Personally I think we should drop all the automatic db searching stuff. Since we require no third-party db libs, we should only enable them if explicitly told to do so with something like --enable-dbfoo. I don't like having so many ways to do the same thing, and we're running into broken distros left and right. -aaron
