I'd like to see a fresh release with the merged code in it soon, if  
possible.  Before that can happen, though, we need to fix some  
things.  As of revision 230, the following problems are obvious (this  
time on Gentoo/PPC32):

- Raidfile tests break horribly.  This is a regression from a day or  
two ago, when merging the win32 port suddenly made them all work.

- Berkeley DB is still not detected by the autoconf scripts.  I think  
this is because it's looking for libdb-1.so instead of libdb1.so.   
But I don't know whether the other name appears on other platforms.

- One other test fails:  bbackupd, apparently in the "interrupted  
restore" test.  This is probably a fault in the test script or the  
front-end, without affecting actual operation, but best to fix it  
either way.

- Compilation emits warnings in a few places.

This is particularly important, since TerraSoft Solutions want to  
include Box in their software directory, in connection with the Linux- 
on-POWER thing.
