Ah, the nomenclature is a bit confusing. libdb is supplied by the "Berkely"
database package (the historical name) but portage calls the package "db".
This "Berkely" distinguishes db from db2 (which is IBM, not Berkely).
Anyway to get rid of the 'db' dependency you need to unset your berkdb USE
flag and rebuild php. Very confusing!
