That's the point.

So if your program does an #include <db.h> it uses version 4 of the db
lib, and version 4 has no dbopen() function. As i said before, i had
to modify my own smtp-after-pop patch too, when i wanted to compile it on
a newer system with db version 3. You can try to do an #include <db_185.h>
or you have to modify the code to work with version 4.
