I don't think it's explicitly discussed, but from reading around in 
the source code and makefiles, it looks like the main reason is 
inter-Evolution file reading compatibility.  I seem to remember 
reading a comment along these lines.  Each release of db3 is 
potentially unable to read/write files written with other releases, 
which means that Evolutions built with different versions of the lib 
are likely to be incompatible.

Being able to read my files seems like a laudable goal and worth 
pursuing :).  So my guess is that it would be good to use 3.1.17.

Max, Peter, Patrick: is your work-in-progress on Evolution available 
anywhere?  I'd like to take a crack at it.  I would like to be using 
the scheduler portion in partuclar -- the buggy Palm Desktop beta is 
driving me nuts, and I don't feel like shelling out USD 500 for MS 
Office X just to use Entourage.
