ATM the only thing you can do to support more than one of db2/db3/db4
is to compile them your own and using config "--with-uniquename=NAME"
and patch dba accordingly.

I played with the stuff today, trying to fix a bug in ext/dba. Yes it
would be a nice idea. And yes that would have no longer to do anything
with ext/dba. However i don't have the time to write it and anyway
that's a thing i would sell so send me customers for it :-)

That holds for other parts of php, too. Keeping WS and CS in synch is
a good idea to make it easy for all the developers to read the code.
And it would even be a better idea to commit only stuff that meets CS.
But that's another story.
