On June 20, db(3) was added to newlib.  Thus, newlib now ships db.h and 
ndbm.h.

db.h will conflict with the new berkeley db package symlink, and ndbm.h 
as you point out conflicts with gdbm.

However, since cygwin doesn't yet *export* the database functions, we 
can hide this problem in the short term by:
   1) cygwin package shouldn't ship db.h or ndbm.h yet
   2) leave the db() symbols out of cygwin.din

That will give us some breathing room until 1.3.12.  Ummm...chris?  I 
just saw the new announcement for 1.3.11-3 -- I think you removed ndbm.h 
but db.h is still there... :-(
