Should dbhash do something similar?  Should we perhaps toss bsddb185 in as a
fallback to the fallback?  If people decide they need bsddb185 (maybe they
are stuck at Berkeley DB 2.x?), I think they should be able to get back up
and running by just twiddling Modules/Setup, and not have to also find and
tweak a number of standard lib modules.
