I'm attaching the patch which adds support for Berkeley DB 4.8. The patch should be applied to APR trunk (2.0) and 1.4.x and 1.3.x branches of APR-Util.

I notice that the configure support for DB 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 checks
under /usr/local by default, e.g.

places="std /usr/local /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2 /boot/home/ config"

whereas support for DB >= 4.3 does not, e.g.

    places="std /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3 /boot/home/config"

Is there a rationale for this inconsistency?

Probably a bugfix.  ISTR some problems with detection getting seriously
tied up in knots around the time of 4.0/4.1.

The svn logs *should* give a hint to the motivation of the change.
