My latest package viewmol has a -ldb entry in the makefile.

I asked on this list where on earth I'd find libdb.so to compile against,
and you helpfully pointed me to libdb2-dev.

However, since then, libdb3[-dev] has come out, so I figured I would
dutifully compile against it.

But to my surprise, I discovered that libdb3-dev does not provide
/usr/lib/libdb.[so,a] at all!  It only has libdb3.so.

I don't understand.  Is this a bug?  Or is libdb.so forever to be fated
identical to libdb2.so ?   libdb3[-dev] docs are empty and therefore of no
help.
