It's actually fairly simple to do what is needed; it's just a rather
tedious and unpleasant task.
What needs to be done is that the DB 1.85 API that's in libc be
moved out to a separate library (call it `libdb185' or something
similar). The actual code stays in libc for the use of internal libc
functions (getpw* in particular) and for the NDBM emulation which SUS
requires.
