RE: 2.0.1 configure fails on FreeBSD, patch included

[Tim Auckland]

This may be a bit crude, but you could match header with library by
grep-ing for the version string, eg:

$ egrep -i DB_VERSION_STRING /usr/include/db3/db.h   
#define DB_VERSION_STRING       "Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.2.9:
(January 24, 2001)"

$ grep 'Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 3.2.9: (January 24, 2001)'
/usr/lib/libdb-3.2.so
Binary file /usr/lib/libdb-3.2.so matches
