`db' package?

I have built 1.86, so I'm sure 1.85 is possible.  I have not tested
the btree, recno, or any advanced features, since my goal was to build
DB_File for perl 5.004, and I'm stuck on dyna-loading.

I'll try putting together a diff if you like.  The main issues are:

1. Start with the linux makefile.
2. Remove the stuff about lorder and tsort from the ${LIBDB} rule.
3. Get a <sys/cdefs.h> that defines __P, or use -D__P(a)=a.
4. Get <sys/queue.h>, which defines macros such as CIRCLEQ_ENTRY.  I
borrowed this file from a linux distribution.
5. Add O_BINARY to the USE_OPEN_FLAGS in db.c, and OR the flags passed
to dbopen with it.
