Summary: setup.py does not properly build bsddb

Initial Comment:
On my Mandrake system, if the db2-devel RPM is
installed it will compile and link bsddb.o and
bsddb.so,
but importing bsddb fails because the .so wasn't
linked with -ldb2, so the dbopen symbol isn't defined.

The attached context diff solves the problem for me.
Note that it's possible that any or all of libdb3,
libdb2,
or libdb1 are installed.

okay, Guido said, "go ahead", so I just checked in
setup.py 1.51 with my libdb finding patch.  I've
assigned this patch to myself.  Please feel free
to comment with or without changes to setup.py...

I'm wary of submitting this without a release candidate
before-hand... Consider it postponed for 2.1-maint, unless
we have another release candidate. It's still a good idea
for 2.2, IMHO, though.
