[PATCH] 1.3: Add support for Berkeley DB4 to mod_auth_db

[Martin Kraemer <Ma...@Fujitsu-Siemens.com>]

This is a) a quick hack to mod_auth_db.c to enable libdb4, and
b) a rewrite of mod_auth_db.module to make it easier to locate
the libdb libraries. The latter is a table driven approach which tries
to take advantage of libdb-{n} libs ({n}={2,3,4}) if found.
The patch tries to fall back to the old individual tests if the table
driven algorithm fails, so should not have a negative impact (except on
running time).

Feedback welcome. Without the patch (at least without the 1st part)
Apache-1.3 fails to compile mod_auth_db on Solaris with libdb4 installed.

I'm definitely +1 concept and +1 on the changes to mod_auth_db.c.  I
haven't spent the time to understand the configure changes.
