Summary: _bsddb segfault

Initial Comment:
I have to remove the _bsddb extension to run the Python
tests. Otherwise I get a segfault when test_anydbm is
run. I also get a segfault running test_bsddb

I just rewrote the setup.py section that finds the header and library file for use when building the bsddb module.  Previously it could pick different versions of the header + lib which would compile and link fine but fail at runtime.  Its checked in to HEAD.  Could you try that out and let me know if that fixes anything for you?
