I agree, this looks like a great improvement!

What I'm getting at is whether packagers should or should not put in dependencies for any OS-supplied version of QDBM (if any, whether it be in base OS or another package).
Would it be possible to have the configure script probe for and use the 
bundled version only QDBM wasn't found on the system? I know that many 
distros (especially Fedora) frown upon bundled libraries.
